About:Passionate about art since childhood, in 2019 I rediscovered painting with greater intensity. I prefer to work with oil paints on canvas. Rather than painting realistic objects (although I also paint them from time to time), I prefer to focus on what is outside our "real", visible world... what is not obvious at first glance. I perceive the frame of the painting as a "door" towards a parallel world, another dimension, and this makes me want to gradually discover this new space by applying colors. Color as a property of light and light as a vibrational energy fascinate me. Everything comes from my "inner necessity" which I trust (editor's note: named by Vasily Kandinsky). Either I have a certain idea that I feel I want to paint from the beginning, or I start to apply colors according to my feelings, my emotions and then the meaning of the image reveals itself to me. me during the creative process. Sometimes my paintings only reflect my inner movement, my feelings, my mood without any clear interpretation. If they evoke emotions in you and force you to "look with your heart," then they have fulfilled their purpose.
I am originally from the Czech Republic, but I live in Monein.
