Motto: I try to keep all my activities in balance And so: since 1973, while studying architecture at the Faculty of Civil Engineering of the Czech Technical University, I have attended private sculpture courses in the studios of sculptors Milan Vácha, Pavel Přikryl, Stanislav Hanzík, Ludvík Kodym and Karel Kronych. Since 1981, under the auspices of the Protective Organization of Authors, I have realized a number of monumental stone sculptures in a team. In total, I have about 50 sculptures for schools, hospitals, hotels, housing estates, etc... (as was the custom at that time) 1985 participation in sculpture exhibitions and symposiums, initially mostly in the Czech Republic Since 1986 restoration of stone sculptures and architecture as a member of the Association of Restorers 1987 graduated in History of Art at the Faculty of Architecture and worked as head of the Department of Project Organization at the Ministry of Culture.

I consider myself very fortunate to be able to realize my designs in a respectable scale and material for my customers at this time. Since 1988 I have travelled cross-country to Italy, Egypt and Greece, and Sri Lanka, Mexico and Dominican Republic, Bali and Thailand. I've flown the Swiss Alps in a paraglider , the seas of Sardinia in a kayak, the rocks of the Dolomites in mountaineering boots and the snowy slopes of the Alps on ski-alpine skis and there is still much to explore and represent in sculpture. I have built a new studio in Panenské Břežany for sculpture classes, making and exhibitions , planted 20 new trees and am raising and teaching sculpture to my 8 year old daughter. And that is the balance of creation and life, knowledge and creation.
