born in Czech Republic have, been living in London since 2001.
In my studio practice I use medium of print, photography and digital imaging. What I am introducing here are digitally manipulated images, created from photographs of landscape mostly taken in deep forests. With combination of more images layered one over another I am creating new surreal or fantastical landscapes pushing the boundaries of the landscape image and exploring those sinister and mysterious atmospheres. By putting romantic setting in contrast with abstract forms I am transforming a real place into a fantasy and mystical landscape. I am inspired by romantically charged places and moments in nature. My aim is to change the perception of these moments and places, moving away from reality of the image itself.

Work of art I would like to make
Was I given a chance to exhibit some of my work in the Saatchi Gallery I would concentrate on photography itself, rather than digitally modified images and further explore the theme of capturing various landscapes possibly trying to create a twist to the original set up by using different angles, reflection and arranging objects in a focus of my camera, therefore become actively involved in the making of the composition.
