I am czech born artist, bookbinder, illustrator and curator living and working in South of Italy since October 2020.
I am interested in the human body; the limitations and the latitude linked to our own physicality.
The transformation of our perception of it at different stages of life (like before and after girl’s first period, mothering or menopause; childhood, youth and old age) and different situations (for example dreaming and being awake) is remarkable.
I hope to provoke feelings in people watching my work; share my inner fears, uncertainties, happiness, perception of the world…
I am making visual art because it is the most natural form of expression for me.
