9.5.1975 - Beroun, Czech Republic

Author´s lifelong interest is zoology, particularly animal ethology, tertiary fauna and ethnography especially of african nations. It is also related to a hobby concerning artistic conception of animal´s life, that turned to the proffession.

Since a young age, he admires creations by German painters W. Kunhert, R. Friese and Czech painters J. Goth and Z. Burian.

He has started as an illustrator in early 90´s in the K. A. Polánek museum in Žatec. There, under the guidance of PhDr. Petr Holodňák, he reconstructed Celts and Germans findings around Czech territory. Followed by cooperating with breeding associations, at first only for an artistic propagation of this organisation. Later the cooperation expanded to integrated painting collections of exotic birds. Afterwards an illustration work for the magazine Safari, Papoušci, Nová exota and picture reproduction posted by Slovak magazine Magazín chovaťeľa. In 2006 he began cooperation with company Loracentrum, where a permanent and selling exposition was opened the following year. Together with the bird painting he works on pictures of other animal species from all around the world, too. By the end of 2013 he has also started realizing animal paintings that died out because of human interference, approximately since early 18th century.

Yet his work is based on experience of travellers and zoologists like J.Vágner, A. Musil, B. Machulka, A. E. Brehm, P. Šebesta, J. Havlasa, E. Holub, prof. J. Janda, Z. Veselovský, V. Mazák and many others.
