Czech Upbringing

Born in the Czech Republic and raised in a working-class family, 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 days and dressed the part.
 

California Dreamin'
 
In 2015, I relocated from Czech Republic 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.
As someone who wasn’t born into a world of security, I understood that building it from the ground up takes time.
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.
 

Munich Desires
 

In 2020, I moved to Europe to be closer to home and my upbringing, choosing Munich as my base. The location was purely geographical, positioned at the heart of my next 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.

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 model of a cubistic sheep... or for overdressing.
My creating and art are a quest for the kind of freedom that often slips away in adulthood. Looking for inspiration in symbolism, mystery, the universe, people and their inner darkness. I find it often holds the key to our own luminance. I’m obsessed with days long gone, Old Hollywood glamour, film noir, the opulence and excess of the eighties, rock n roll, and connecting them to the mysteries and darkness of modern times.

I do not want realism; I want glamorous crimson fantasies, draped in maximalism.
