Tugendhat

May 29, 2024

What might Greta Tugendhat have felt when she left Villa Tugendhat in the spring of 1938? Fear? Anxiety? Anger? Under the threat of the rising Nazism, she emigrated to Switzerland and Venezuela with her husband and two children. She returned to the villa for the first time in 1967,...

Missing

March 17, 2024

In 2007, I found kindred spirits among the Brno photographers who met every Wednesday evening at a café or pub. Vojtěch Sláma, Roman Franc, Gabriela Kolčavová, and Evžen Sobek were the ones I felt good with at that time. Thanks to them, I learned about ITF, as Roman and...

It’s so easy to hurt someone. The word is such a powerful tool that we often don’t even realize it…

Self-portraits

March 1, 2024

I remember sitting around the year 2006 at a gathering of Photopost photographers at a pub in Prague. All the men at the meeting were photographers. And all the girls were models. I sat there and observed the events around me, all the lively conversations and dramatic gestures. Suddenly,...

February 24, 2024

Don’t hurry, wait a little while, ducklings swim on the river. Don’t hurry, wait a little while, I smell the scent of fresh rain. Don’t hurry, wait a little while, there’s music singing. Don’t hurry, wait a little while, my first tooth fell out. Don’t hurry, wait a little...

Fishing

February 24, 2024

I must admit that this painting was originally supposed to look different. More abstract and less concrete. It was revised several times… And yet it seems to have a strong atmosphere. That it affects people. I liked the comment from Alena the most when I shared the painting in...

On the hill

February 20, 2024

Abstract painting has been tempting me for quite a while now. Recently, I came across the paintings of an artist who creates abstract pieces with real elements, and it completely captivated me. Then, I was looking for inspiration for palette knife painting on YouTube and found a tutorial on...

Imaginary friends

February 4, 2024

As soon as more coloring books by Karolina Kubikowska were released, I didn’t hesitate and bought each one. I was particularly drawn to the book ‘Imaginary Friends,’ which was once again full of various imaginative connections. The book is in a spiral binding, with each image on a separate...

The Drop

January 30, 2024

I don’t even know why, but suddenly an idea was born in me. To create a droplet and inside it, a curled-up baby. However, there was no baby available for the shoot, so I took a slightly older one – myself. Well, to capture a water droplet perfectly sharp...
