I am a Czech multi-media artist mostly working with illustration and textile. In 2020 I am going to finish my third and last year of the BA Illustration course at the University of Northampton, UK. From September 2020 I am going to continue to the atelier of Textile Design in the Academy of Arts Architecture & Design in Prague, Czech Republic.
My illustrations are largely inspired by animals, fashion and everything what makes me laugh.

Final Major Project: My Grandparents
Who is going to take care of us when we get old? In my point of view, the relationship between young and elder generation is very important. There is still so much things left which I want to learn from them.
For instance, until the beginning of this project, I haven’t asked my grandma where she is from, how many siblings she has or what school did she study, even though we’ve always been very close to each other. Thanks to this project I already feel much closer to my grandparents.
What is more, I have recently discovered, that having a good relationship with grandparents, aunts or uncles is not a sure thing in every family. A lot of my peers have broken or very complicated relationships with the members of their family, where no one is talking to each other. Knowing this, makes me really appreciate what I have with my relatives.
Project: The Secret History of Thoughts
After listening to the podcast “The Secret History of Thoughts” I got the impression that thoughts can be very unpredictable, wild and sometimes scary. Thoughts are something that we are not able to control or predict. It can also take us to a different “reality”, where it’s easy to get lost and that is what I was trying to capture.
Goodnight Mister Tom
Project: Goodnight Mr Tom Penguin Book Cover
For the Penguin book jacket competition, I chose to work on the book, "Goodnight Mister Tom", written by Michelle Magorian.
The book took me to the English countryside during the second world war. After finishing the book, I got the certain image in my head of a cosy, warm and welcoming home. A place, where Will, the main character, finally finds peace and true friendship. That led me to make the jacket very childlike and naïve.
