He went to primary art school and then to secondary industrial school. At the age of 18 he started studying architecture at the Czech Technical University in Prague. Which he graduated from a year ago. And he makes his living as an architect in Prague's Na Výstaviště complex. He is currently studying at a second university focusing on Construction Management and in his spare time he paints pictures. In the spring of 2020, he tried painting on canvas with acrylic for the first time and was captivated by it and painted almost 40 paintings in less than a year. For his expressive style, he was called Kokoshka by the academic painter Vrát'a Ševčík at the summer art school in Telč. He paints the world around him, everything he sees. He prefers realistic scenes based on a model, but he adds his own distinctive style. He likes to paint animals, portraits, houses, towns and most of all he likes to give people paintings on request (if they pay, even more). He has sold nearly 15 paintings to date.In addition, as a poet and a man steeped in the world, he writes haiku - a short poem (5-7-5) that becomes the title of each work. He plans to publish a book of his paintings and haiku in the near future. He loves cooking, gastronomy and traveling. He has traveled to almost 50 countries and 3 continents. His biggest dream would be to sail around the world on a sailboat while earning money for the trip by painting his paintings.
