The main theme is nature, culture, and to visualize the invisible things that I feel from nature. In my works I’m trying to express the delicate sense of light in the darkness more specifically with characters.
As materials for that, I refer to traditional Czech and Japanese traditional events such as decoration and architecture and try to make folklore motifs colorful and graphical.
