My biggest inspirations are the people and their relationship to the nature, religions and life ...
Subjects for my work I mostly find while I am travelling in the Czech Republic, Europe or around the world. During these trips I could really try how it is to live at altitudes above 3000 m above sea level, in the South American jungle or inside a slum.
In this sense it was probably the most inspirited year of my life in the South America.
This life experiences have shaped my view of the world, became my inspiration and are reflected in my art works. In the last years I was trying how to use photoluminescent pigments in the artworks.
