Autoportrét / Self-portrait, detail.

I'm a painter and translator based in Prague. I paint mostly in oils using the alla prima technique and my main focus is on portraiture, jazz themes and floral still life.

 

As a counterpart to realistic painting, I create abstract works, which are often inspired by poetry, jazz and classical music and are always a reflection of my current state of mind.

 

A few years ago I started working with gold and silver leaf, creating an entire collection of paintings entitled "Hidden Secrets" and since then it has become an integral part of many of my paintings. 

​

I studied painting with Raj Chaudhuri, a Denver-based artist who was the best tutor I could ever imagine and had the opportunity to meet his amazing teacher Quang Ho - both of them have been my great inspiration ever since. I also studied portrait painting at Studio Escalier in France, oil painting with the Czech artist Miloš Englberth, plein-air painting with Václav Fišer and passed several figure drawing seasons at the Academy of Fine Arts in Prague and a "Portrait in Charcoal" workshop led by the American artist Michelle Dunaway. 

 

I am member of the Portrait Society of America.
