In my work, I focus on subtle, seemingly insignificant, and easily overlooked moments and stories.
The central theme of my work is the interplay of time and silence.
I work with geometric stylization, symmetry, and repetition, with carefully constructed compositions, and often with striking color contrasts. The minimalism of my images, whether in film or painting, together with minimal, often static action, creates a closed temporal loop.
The human figure appears only rarely in my works; it is usually a self-portrait or a symbol of humanity,
sometimes entirely devoid of character, often subordinate to the space that surrounds it. Attention is focused
on the environment and its quiet, natural action.
I tell my stories through poetry, short stories, short films, photographs, and paintings.
In my early work, I focused primarily on illustration; later, I turned to photography
and experimental film. In the past year, painting has become my primary medium.
While studying at the Faculty of Art and Design in Pilsen, I illustrated my own books and subsequently made my debut in 2019 with the short film *Sebona*, which was screened at Czech and international animated film festivals.
My latest film, Za tichem, was selected for the TOP 20 student films of the Magnesia Award, presented as part of the Czech Lion Awards.
