Artistic profile:
Since 1991 I have dealt with various kinds of visual art.
I create paintings, photoes, installations and objects - sometimes accompanied by texts.
My first important solo exhibition took place in the National Gallery Prague in 1999. It was an installation of black and white photos (2x4m) with war motives accompanied by religious texts.
Since that time I have participated in a number of group and solo exhibitons in Europe.
Last time my art provoked international interest in 2004, in Berlin, Germany, where I installed large text : KILL THEM ALL at a tower building. The text was removed after the intervention of American companies. (see Flash Art oct, 2004)
