“Above”
Q: Please share a little piece of advice for the artists just starting out in this field.
A:
If I should introduce myself, I would use a word like a daydreamer. I am 26 and I work as a freelance photographer living in Prague, Czech Republic.
I studied Bank university in Prague, but I found myself in absolutely different world. I fell in love with photography 5 years ago.
Many people are surprised that I am only 26 years old, even more shocked when I tell them I started to take pictures only five years ago. Even more when they learn that I have never studied photography.
“And a Morning Has Begun”
Q: Your artwork has a pretty distinctive mark, which is the basic emotion you want to express?
A:
Well, I thought I always wanted to express something like solitary or loneliness. But when I look back, I have to say I tend to expressing inner silence.
We all live in rush places and noisy enviroment and we cant stay in silence and talk to ourself. It should be something like inner dialog. Conecting with nature. Thats the most important feelings.
“Tied Together”
Q: Do you take the photos yourself? If so, what gear do you use, both for photographing and manipulation?
A:
Yeah, I am only one author of all my photos. I use digital full-frame camera Canon 5D and Photoshop as a final touch for my ideas.
“White Night”
Q: Is there an artist that inspires you, or maybe a current in art?
A:
Yeah, I absolutely love Robert and Shana ParkeHarrison. I love their inner world.
I am amazed by their unique way how they can combine and shoe the conection between human and nature. Outstanding!
“Into You”
Q: What other hobbies do you have?
A:
Hobbies? 🙂 Photography! I am so glad I can do photography for living and still as a hobby.
But when I have a free time I love tarot cards, esotericism, druidism and all about this natural mystery.
“Above”
Q: Please share a little piece of advice for the artists just starting out in this field.
A:
I always keep this motto in my mind: “Be yourself, loved by a few and not understood by the rest”. Stop reading all these “rules” and express yourself as an artist.

Meet Me Half Way
So I Tried
Out Of Mind
And Then I Found Him
Between Light And Nowhere
May I Find Some Relief Here
And I Keep Falling
They Taught Me How
On The Wings I Could Hear You
You Crashed In The Clouds
Don’t Bring Me Down
I Was Falling High
Breakable
Reborn
Delicate Balance
We Were
More Than This
My Broken Sky
My Duality
Rejected
But I Would
Hope
I Have Been Distant
Since You Are Left
Tranquility
Frozen
Still There
On The Edge
We Don’t Try
It Was A Snowy Night
Messenger
I Came There
In My Limbo
But I Wanted to Touch
Behind My Curtain
I Have Been Wrong
With All My Lies
Wrong Line
When it Falls
Stuck
Emporio II
Desire
Asymmetry
Dorothy
