The painter, performer, stage designer, director and a writer is a graduate of JAMU in Brno, Kunstuniversität Graz and the author of his own artistic movement – synestheticism. He realised over 100 exhibitions of his paintings across Europe – including several ones at the International Biennale of Modern Art in Florence, the Prague Quadrenniale 2015, or at the Academy of Arts.
