I was born in 1987 in Bojnice, Slovakia. I learned how to read and write at the age of 5, and was highly creative ever since. Despite my interests, I didn't consider art as a career and instead started studying IT at the Masaryk University in Brno, Czech Republic. Terrified by the vision of life spent sitting in the office and staring at the screen, I left the study unfinished after three semesters and decided to seriously focus on painting and my spiritual growth. My deep interest in Tarot symbolism and curiosity to uncover all of its secrets resulted in more than a decade of dedicated study and practise of both western and eastern mystery schools and traditions - mostly quabalah, astrology, magick, shamanism, yoga and tai-chi. These pursuits turned my life into a proper adventure that involved lot of travelling across Europe and doing all kinds of jobs to support myself and my real work. Corportate IT administration, manual labours of all kinds and social work with disabled individuals, to name a few. I was also involved in undeground music scene for many years, mostly as festival organiser and DJ. Since 2015, I live in a standalone house in the forest on the north slope of La Palma, small volcanic island in the Atlantic ocean. This place taught me the art of landscape painting and allowed me to dedicate myself to my passions full time and without compromises. Except two solo exhibitions I did in local Sala O'Daly gallery in 2017 and 2019, and three editions of a festival I organised back in Czech Republic, I have no trackable artistic history.. only hundreds of artworks, my own Tarot deck and a book that will go with it, once its finally published.
