  • I am primarily a painter but my work in the present time is closely related to work in space. An object can work for me as model for painting but also as an artefact in itself or as a component of installation.

    The Drawing lesson | 2016

I prepared a project called “The Drawing Lesson” for the Gallery 209/ School of Fine Arts/Brno, in which I reacted to educational processes in fine arts of the last 80 years. I used school drawings of my grandfather. I used fragments of the drawings to create an illusion of an imaginary space using a mural. Some of my grandfather’s drawings that reflected the motif of the mural were also installed in the space.
