Preferred Medium

Oil on canvas is my primary medium of choice. I also dabble in sculpture, where the medium can vary, though currently, I don't have the time for sculpture projects.

Notable Achievements

I've been honored to participate in several landscape exhibitions. My work was featured in exhibitions such as "Výlet" at Prague's BOLD Gallery (2021), "Dialogues" at Kooperativa in Prague (2020), and "Dawn - contemporary landscape painting" at the Gallery of the East Bohemian Region in Pardubice (2018). I've also had separate exhibitions including "Crossroads of Eroticism and Spirituality" with Kateřina Komm at the Komedie Theater in Prague (2022), "Crossroads" at the Košice Vojtech Löffler Museum (2021), and "Calamity" at Prague's New Gallery (2020). Next year, I'm excited to announce my largest solo exhibition at the East Slovak Gallery in Košice (2025).

Favorite Sorcery Works:

Plague of Frogs: I spent the most time on this card compared to all others. I particularly admire the colors I used; generally, fauna-inspired colors fascinate me. They resemble vivid abstractions. I aimed to incorporate the entire spectrum of colors available to me at home, playing with poses to inject humor into the painting. I also wanted to convey action within the picture. The creation process was playful, except for the final small purple frog's head on the far left, for which I searched for several days to find the right color to complete the work.
