 When It All Began

Art has always been a part of me. As a child, I painted on anything I could find—walls, paper, even furniture. It wasn’t about rules or technique back then; it was pure instinct, a way to express what I couldn’t put into words. That creative spark stayed with me. I began taking art more seriously in my teenage years, always keeping a canvas nearby, always painting whenever I had the chance.

At 19, I held my first small exhibition in Prague. It was a quiet but meaningful start, and it showed me that this path was one I wanted to follow. Exhibitions in Frankfurt and other cities soon followed. Since then, I’ve continued to explore and evolve, working with ever-changing techniques and styles that reflect the shifting nature of my personality.

Why I Create

My art is a way to process what moves through me emotions, experiences, and impressions from the outside world. It allows me to transform what I feel into something visual and share it with others. Painting is my form of reflection, a moment of stillness in which I can connect with myself on a deeper level.

Sometimes, my work is soft and meditative; other times, it bursts with energy. Both are part of who I am. Through my work, I invite others to take a similar introspective journey—one that encourages them to pause, reflect, and perhaps discover something unexpected within themselves.

Painting for me is not about control. It’s about permission—allowing the process to lead the way. I often paint with my hands, sometimes with a brush, but always with a sense of openness. Each artwork is a moment of surrender, a balance between calm and chaos.

Who I Am

 
Between places, cultures, and exchange.

Living and working between Germany and the Czech Republic, and shaped by travel, my work emerges from lived experience and ongoing dialogue.
Drawn from the world we move through and the people we meet, each painting comes into being as a moment of color, texture, and emotion.

Where My Work Has Been Shown

Over the years, my art has been exhibited in several cities, including:

  • Prague– Prague — Independent solo exhibitions in cafés and public street settings
  • Frankfurt– Group and solo shows
  • Selected works shown in independent spaces

While I am largely self-taught, I’ve participated in various workshops and art courses that have helped shape my techniques and approach. My work continues to evolve, as I remain committed to exploring new forms of expression and pushing my creative boundaries.
