About

I was born in the Czech Republic in 1970. At the age of 22, shortly after the “velvet revolution”, which made it possible to travel and therefore to know, I came to live in Tuscany. First in Florence, where I had the opportunity to meet many artists from all over the world, then in the Alta Valdera, where the countryside of the villages of Chianni, Lajatico and Terricciola became my home at the beginning of the new millennium.

My artistic beginning took place in the nineties with tempera or oil paints on traditional supports such as canvas and wood. These first Florentine paintings followed the naive style and later, by attending Masaniello Luschi’s studio in Livorno (1994-1995), I have studied the Macchiaioli style by painting in oils. My strong connection with nature is evident already from that period. Despite a great work commitment in the field of industrial design in the decades from 2000 to 2020, the internet has allowed me to follow the world of art.

A long search for harmony in the dialogue between art, nature and inner emotions has led me to the fresco technique. With this processing I can combine everything. Tradition and modernity. Rock, water, pigments, sand, colors and light. And also sensations, energy and passion.

Mimesis – I imitate nature – I create what is needed, but I enjoy changing its appearance. Amalgamating reality with emotions. The fresco allows you to combine painting with sculpture. The support becomes different each time by varying its processing or by inserting various material fragments.

I find inspiration everywhere, observing the smallest details, patterns, weaves and textures that nature invents with the passing of the seasons. The invisible side – the emotion – closes the circle. A circle of infinite possibilities!

The Tuscan Giampaolo Talani is my referent master for the technique of modern frescoes that I use. My favourite artist is Giorgia O’Keeffe. Because of her life, her ideals and the clean synthesis that she was able to express in her paintings. For the use of colours I find Vincent Van Gogh unsurpassed.
