BIO:
Born in 1970 . Ethnologist and Sudetenland guide, his passion is ceramics and clay sculpture. On a daily basis, he organizes and leads ceramic workshops. The artist makes excellent use of the properties of clay, betting on the roughness oftextures, emphasizingthe rawness of the material and form. Sometimes he makes sculptures pure - only of clay, sometimes he decorates them sparingly with colored glazes, but more often he combines them with wood.
The subject of his sculptures is a human being. Often it is a face with a grimace expressing feelings of rebellion, sadness or fear, a fragment of a torso, predatory hands. He shows a man in conflict with life and himself, sometimes longing for harmony with nature, which finds expression in wood as the material used.
