1975, Svetla nad Sazavou, Czech Republic I graduated from a prestigious fashion design school in Brno, Czech Republic, majoring in Textile and Knitwear; this is where I developed my skill of drawing and painting. After graduating, I spent several months in England and the USA. For most of the year I’m living and painting in Prague. I love classic paintings, especially from the Impressionist period and like many artists I’m fascinating by light and perspective. Many of my pictures feature nature, cityscapes and transport — from what I see in my life. People appear very rarely in my pictures; when they do appear they represent normal life around us. My first oil painting was in 1999 as a Christmas gift for my partner and has resulted in many more paintings since. I started with canvas sizes in the 100 x 100 cm range; all characterized by strong colour and bold strokes on a black background playing with light and shadow. A palette knife is used in the creation of these paintings. Recently, I’ve experimented with a red canvas background and also smaller canvases (40 x 40 cm). I still use a palette knife but for the smaller pictures I sometimes need a small brush. Since that first painting in 1999, I believe I’ve developed my own style. The light is the most important part of the painting. It can give the right sparkle or completely destroy it. I try to capture the right balance of light and shadow to add depth. I’ve held several successful exhibitions in the Czech Republic. My paintings are held in private collections in the Czech Republic, UK, USA, Belgium, France, Sweden, Canada and Slovak Republic.
