I work with magnetic fields on the canvas. As a starting point, I use ferromagnets, various paints, and iron/metal shavings. With the help of magnets, I create shapes from the metal shavings and fix them to the canvas using paints, adhesives, and other liquids. I use permanent ferromagnets in different sizes and shapes, with which I can create various compositions and actively determine the character of the magnetic fields. I can give the works both an abstract and a representational expression. In my painting, another natural process is also included – the formation of rust – which gives my paintings earthy brown tones. In this way, I point to nature and its laws, which are often invisible to the human eye, but I can at least capture a brief moment of their existence on my canvases. Another natural process is also involved in my painting – corrosion – which gives my works earthy brown tones. However, I can work with colors just as in "classical" painting, creating various color gradients. I can only control the corrosion of the metal shavings to a certain extent; the full color result will only become apparent after the drying period, which can take weeks. Therefore, waiting and observing the color changes is always a great adventure. I was born in Olomouc (Czech Republic). I have lived in Erding, in the Munich area, since 2002. ​ Artistic Milestones • 2025: Member of the Union of Fine Artists Olomouc (Association of Visual Artists Olomouc) • 2024: Jury member at the exhibition "Grafika roku 2023" (Graphic of the Year 2023) • 2023: First solo exhibition in a municipal gallery • 2021: First group exhibition in a municipal gallery / museum • 2019: First solo exhibition at Galerie Maldoror, Prague (Czech Republic) • 2017: Award at the 11th Biennial International Miniature Print Exhibition • 2016: First group exhibition at Galerie Hollar, Prague (Czech Republic) • 2016: First book illustrations: Vávra, Stanislav: Kapitoly o utopeném jablku, Prague 2016 (Collages) • 2016: First bibliophilia in collaboration with Atelier Krupka: Mácha, Karel, Hynek: Máj, publishing house Ve stráni, Úvaly near Prague 2016 (Bibliophilia, six structural graphics) ​ Artistic Education • 2014 – 2021: Teaching by Oldřich Hamera • 1997 – 2001: Palacký University in Olomouc (CZ), among others taught by Dana Puchnarová, Ondřej Michálek. ​ Awards (Art): • 2017: 11th Biennial International Miniature Print Exhibition at the Center for Contemporary Printmaking in Norwalk, General Packaging Prize and Honorable Mention. ​ Member of the German Association for Art History Freelance artist, illustrator, freelance curator, and organizer of cultural actions and book author.
