A designer by profession, his pieces are often the result of a research that is at the boundary between photography and design.
He is interested in found objects, he transform them in visual messages through his imagination. The composition and the tones of his work are clear and often contain items depicting a hint of sarcasm.
His work has been exhibited in more than thirty private exhibitions and more than twenty group exhibitions in Czech Republic and abroad.
