Even as a child, I felt that the world of colors, shapes, and creation was my own language. When I drew, painted, or simply dreamed with a pencil in my hand, everything else disappeared. But my path was never straight. It was full of twists, mistakes, courage, and moments when I had to stand up for myself.
My beginnnigs
High school? That was more of a mistake. It was mainly my parents' decision, not mine. I felt I didn't belong there, like I was suffocating. So after graduation, I took a step that changed my life – I flew to the USA. At Brookdale College, I passed the TOEFL exam and finally studied what I loved. I finished Associate in Arts (A.A.) program and for the first time, felt I was exactly where I belonged.
My creative direction
After returning to the Czech Republic, I was determined to keep going. I was not excepted at AVU so I started at the 1st Private School of Oil Painting by Věra Šteflová, where I explored oil painting techniques.
Moving to Germany
Then came another big change – moving to Germany because of love. I worked there in a completely different field, flying on private jets and meeting famous personalities like Tom Hanks, Steven Spielberg, and Luciano Pavarotti. But the most valuable thing this job gave me was time to paint.
I set up my first small studio, and in 2000, I sold my very first painting.
The pain that brought me back home
Year 2002 brought immense loss. My father's tragic death turned my world upside down. Maybe I would have stayed in Germany, but I couldn't watch my mom grieve alone. I returned home to Czech with a heavy heart but with a clear understanding that I had to go on.
The new beginning
After returing to home I realized that painting is not enough, so I started working at one international graphic agency in Prague and dove into the world of graphic design. And I stay there till now. In 2013, I fulfilled a dream and founded my own graphic studio, kleinMAUS.
Today, I create visual identities, campaigns, and projects for clients, while always keeping space for what I love the most – painting and art . And graphic desing helps me to promote my art too.
My path has been thorny but full of color. It taught me that even when doubts scream, and when the world turns against you, you just need to make the next brushstroke. "When you follow what truly fulfills you, you'll never get lost," I remind myself to this day. And I keep following my heart and an endless desire to create.
