Czech Upbringing
Born in the Czech Republic, I grew up in a small town where art wasn’t exactly encouraged.
I was expected to follow a more traditionally secure path in life. Since I can remember, I lived differently. I overdressed for school and lived every day like it was the last. I didn’t care for proms, weddings, or "the one special day". Every day was special, whether a comedy, tragedy, or romance. I 'created my creations', and my days.
2015
California Dreamin'
In 2015, I relocated to California, diving headfirst into the world of advertising and graphic design to put my creativity to good use. Over the years, I've built skills and an extensive portfolio in digital design, advertising, and branding.
After years of living in the corporate world, I realized my path wasn’t there. I’m very grateful for the skills learned and the understanding of both the corporate and agency environments.
While in California, I was always seeking Hollywood’s glamour, only to discover that the famous boulevard was more about broken dreams than red carpets. This was even more inspiring, as the original idea seemed too polished to begin with, like a perfect façade waiting to be cracked open. I was always attracted to the unknown.
2020
European Arts
In 2020, I moved to Munich, positioned at the heart of my next creative visions.
I opened a new world, creatively moving myself, my skills and interests forward.
I began studying drawing and painting at local studio schools, became a member of contemporary art institutions, and had the privilege of learning from extraordinary artists, professionals, gallerists and philanthropists.
2025
Italian Studies
In 2025, after four dedicated years of painting, I chose to deepen my academical knowledge by studying oil painting in Florence at the Accademia d’Arte. Shortly after, I began studying directly under Maestro Giuliano Giuggioli, fulfilling a dream I’ve had since admiring the Renaissance masters and the idea of learning directly from a maestro and a mentor.
Creativity and Visions
I've been using my creativity since I was born. I remember being kicked out of an art class when I was eleven for creating a paper model of a cubistic sheep... or for overdressing.
My creating is a quest for the kind of freedom that often slips away in adulthood. Looking for an escape and inspiration in symbolism, mystery, the universe, and ourselves. I’m obsessed with days long gone, Old Hollywood glamour & film noir, human nature and morphing, the opulence and excess of the eighties, rock n roll, and creating a new red world to escape into.
