The human psyche has dozens of layers. So do my paintings. Visual art with a deep-seated code.

Creating art has been a part of my life for over 25 years. In my paintings, I work with layers, texture, and the traces of time. As a certified graphologist, I analyze the inner self through projective painting methods. I am fascinated by the space between control and spontaneity, that moment when a painting takes on a life of its own, revealing hidden subconscious layers and transcending the original intent. Much like in life itself.
I studied oil painting in Prague before finding my own path toward acrylics, experimental techniques, and an intuitive creative process. I draw inspiration from nature, transformation, feminine energy, and the profound human beauty that often lies beneath the surface. Alongside my personal artistic work, I also engage in design and visual projects, where I combine unbridled creativity with clear visual communication.

I believe that art has the power not only to inspire, but also to make a meaningful difference.
In 2019, I began organizing charity art exhibitions. The first two projects supported Acorus, an organization helping women affected by domestic violence.
Later, I contributed to a fundraising exhibition for Médecins Sans Frontières (Doctors Without Borders), where we succeeded in filling Prague's iconic Mánes Gallery with visitors united by a common purpose. These experiences inspired me to establish my own independent non-profit initiative, Believe Your Dreams a project that brings together art, philanthropy, and human stories.
Together with a team of dedicated volunteers, we organize annual charity exhibitions and projects aimed at supporting meaningful causes and helping those in need. I believe that dreams have their greatest power when they enable us to positively impact the lives of others.For me, Believe Your Dreams is proof that art can extend beyond the walls of a gallery and become a catalyst for genuine change.
