​           I was born in the Czech Republic where after 20 plus years of public service I started to think about how to bring new thinking to the classics. And I conceived the notion in my art to focus attention on the spiritual aspects of human life. This birth delivered several major projects that take grew from my life experiences in my city. I hope to share a glimpse of something new with a vision and image of life in a whole new meaning.
           In 2004, I traveled to America where I absorbed new awareness and perception of the world in the multicultural city of Chicago. I soon discovered a communication barrier that limited my voyage in this new world where I had to expand my language abilities and learned to communicate my essence through the visual arts. At that moment, my boss gave me a camera to express the art inside of me. So, I began chatting in a form of clicks and shutters to speak across all languages.
           I shape light to capture nature where it reflects our humanity. My demographic picture is an example of this humanity reflected in landscape art in living things around us. It reflects diversity, strength, and community. For Demographics, I discovered a park where I found a living community that allow me into their sacred homestead. I capture their spirit and determine it required a special frame setting. I chose to use an acrylic print to relay a strong yet gentle image of this special setting. I hope my photographs to convey a testimony to the beauty of being human variation.
