I was born in Popov – Štítná nad Vláří, the Czech Republic. I have been painting since …. since I was born. Sometimes I get on and sometimes I do not. I am sure you know it. As a student, I went to two universities – Academy of Arts, Architecture and Design in Prague and the Faculty of Fine Arts, Brno University of Technology and ended up in Kunstseminar in Luzern. There, in the painting studio of Radoslav Kutra, whom I had met in Brno, I told myself, “This is it!” Kunstseminar became my second homeland. I was grateful for any experience. The whole painter’s life means “seeking”. Seeking the right composition, shape, relationships between colours … Seeking fleeting moments of seeing…I paint in the regions of Valašsko and Horňácko, the Czech Republic, in Switzerland, etc. And somewhere between these places I live my life … A teacher of mine used to say, “Odříkaného chleba největší krajíc.” I didn’t like going to school. However, I have been going there until now. I am an art teacher. Besides, I work in an art workshop of a day care centre for handicapped children. I organise painting events in the open air and courses for children and adults (now only occasionally)
