AUTHORIAL WORK

Sometimes I feel that I have to create in order to survive. Accumulated inspiration can be very heavy, and so over time I’ve learned to consciously create space in my life for this form of self-expression. Over the years, I’ve begun to discover a therapeutic dimension in creation and its healing effects—not only on our nervous system, but also as a tool for processing deeper inner themes.Creation is a caress, a gentle touch, a form of meditation. It reveals deeper conscious and unconscious emotions and blocks. What I create doesn’t really matter—my hands are working, and in the process my mind is organically processing and releasing what it needs to, without any deliberate effort. The weight lifts with every brushstroke, and time slowly dissolves.After years of personal artistic practice, the creative-development project Artepy.cz began to take shape. Today, my artistic work—which I prefer to describe as introspective rather than abstract—is also moving into the professional sphere. Not only through the project itself and working with people via the connection of coaching and creative expression, but also through my more active involvement in international art exhibitions.

TO BUY

Easily and Quickly

This painting is a manifesto of allowing. It speaks to the idea that life doesn’t have to hurt in order to be meaningful, and that growth, fulfillment, and joy don’t need to arise solely from pressure, struggle, and constant self-overcoming.Easily and Quickly is not about shortcuts or superficiality. It is about an inner recalibration — a moment when we stop putting obstacles in our own way, stop going against ourselves, and allow things to flow. It reflects the belief that lightness is not weakness, but courage in the rush-mageddon of today’s world. That joy can be a strategy, not a reward saved for “later.”This painting speaks of trust — in the process itself. It was created exactly as its title suggests: easily and quickly, without overthinking, in a state of flow.

HOW ARE YOU? …Feel it. Translate it.

The painting reflects the feeling behind the question: “How are you?”It’s such an ambiguous question that we often opt for simple, non-specific answers, even though so much is happening in the background. How can we express our vast experiences behind such a simple question?

ON EXPLORATION

We are all here on an exploration. What we share is the experience of being human in a strange and colorful world with its own logic and rules — rules we don’t always understand. We’re here, living out human experiences.

We often believe it’s all about us. Humanity is inherently self-centered — but the universe keeps unfolding with or without us. We too unfold. We don’t choose to be born or to grow up — it simply happens. We observe, adapt, and learn.

We’re here on an expedition — constantly gathering insight into what it means to be human.

DYING OCEAN

This painting emerged spontaneously after watching a documentary about the ocean.

The ocean is nature’s home. We are land dwellers — and what lies beneath the surface belongs to us even less than the ground we walk on. The ocean is a completely different universe on this blue planet.

CONCEPTLESS — sold

This painting reflects my own period of transformation and acceptance of a life without fixed structure or clear concepts. The face on the canvas is calm and centered amidst the conceptual chaos. The cool tones give the painting the feel of a winter landscape — quiet and still — yet, so much is happening beneath the surface.

Symbolism:

  • Tree — Reflects growth, development, and ascension, as well as grounding and rootedness. A cycle.
  • Sun & Gold — The sun and light are always present, even in the darkness.
  • White “smudges” — Souls — that’s what we all are.
  • Ladder, two figures, and levels — A two-way path, up or down. It’s a matter of choice. Also represents life stages.
  • Face — Calm and accepting. Embracing the process as it is.

CROSSROADS ALONG THE WAY — sold

We all set off from different starting points, with different conditions and opportunities. We move toward our goals, step by step. Sometimes we get lost, sometimes we find ourselves again — each crossroads may take us off course, but always leads somewhere new. Maybe it’s a detour. Maybe a shortcut. But what is the real destination? Where are we really headed?

Even though life inevitably leads us toward death, the path is full of color, twists, and tension. On the canvas, zones appear that symbolize key moments and phases — they also reflect our personal boundaries and the layers we build around ourselves. Threads lead to an imagined center, passing through each zone. Every path eventually leads us back — to ourselves, to our own center.

Multipotencionality - SOLD

“Now I’m riding a wave of peace, a wave of connection and self-acceptance. I’m not a role anymore. I am not the definition of a daughter, partner, child, friend or student. I am not defined. I just am. I am who I want to be right now. I am a free spirit. I am a creative soul. I’m a Longbeard. I’m a surfer. I’m a tomboy. I’m a woman. I am a fairy and I am harmony. I am conscious and unconscious energy. I am i am love I am forgiven. I am understanding. I am loved. I am loving. I am A fickle port. I am home. I am a temple. I am a sanctuary. I am the melody. I am the universe. I am light and dark. I am balance. I love, forgive and accept.” This image came with the awareness of the word “Multipotentiality” The definition according to which people are divided into professionals and multipotentialites. Almost at the same time, I discovered the concept of “High sensitivity” — Feelings of greater self-acceptance came, but also concerns, regrets about being hard on myself, fears about how I would deal with this new awareness. The multipotentialite stands majestically even though she is afraid. She has her head held high and is determined to meet her authenticity. 

Material: Oil and charcoal on canvas

Size: 90×120 cm

Always a little bit weird

The painting captures my inner feelings of insecurity. It’s the little girl inside me who needed reassurance and support. I most associate this period with elementary school and adolescence. On the outside I was wearing a mask, on the inside I was writhing. Always a little weird. That describes the feeling exactly.

Materials: Oil on canvas

Size: 70×100 cm

Mermaid

An expression of my fear of water, which I was overcoming in myself. Inside I was always drawn to the ocean, but I couldn’t leave the bottom with my feet. A surfer who is afraid of water? It doesn’t go well together. Again, it was the little girl inside of me who needed reassurance that everything was okay. 

 Material: Acrylic on canvas

Size: 40×60 cm

The flapping of butterfly wings

This painting was created from three souls with a strong story. It was created on a sunny day in the garden, in collaboration with the artist Ivana Dostálova and Anička, a teenage girl who underwent psychiatric treatment and is now regaining her strength. A seemingly chaotic image, with a precisely elaborated composition. From the first sight, it draws you into the center where you find an angel sitting on a rock ready to take off. When it flaps its wings, things around it move, flow and happen. Just take off. 

Material: Acrylic on canvas 

Size: 100×120 cm

Imag(in)e

An image in which you can find more of yourself than my subject. A piece of Earth. Meeting of colorful days with darkness, ACCEPTANCE. The painting also reflects rebirth and a new beginning that comes after challenging moments in life. 

Material: Acrylic on canvas 

Size: 80×80 cm

Fighting Angeles

Crimson red combined with blue, free brushstrokes, freedom and at first glance chaos. In fact, these moves express both the conflict and the consensus between good and evil. Also the scars that disputes can cause us and the insecurity we find ourselves in. Pink softens the situation a bit and captures the idea of finding solutions, resolution and reconciliation. Disputes are a part of our lives and sometimes we struggle. We find our way through dark thoughts, we expose ourselves to our inner judge and find the strength to stand up to him. 

Material: Acrylic on canvas 

Size: 80×120cm

Deep Inside - SOLD

We all have a certain depth. From this depth the best of us, the purest, comes to the surface. It is a treasure that we all carry within ourselves and it only depends on us if we embark on a difficult journey within ourselves to discover it. 

Material: Acrylic on canvas 

Size: 100×100 cm

A Dying Ocean

A Dying Ocean. An image that was created completely spontaneously after watching a documentary film about the ocean. The ocean is nature’s home. We are terrestrials and what is under water belongs to us even less than what we take on land. The ocean is a completely different universe on this blue planet. 

Material: Acrylic on canvas

Size: 50×100 cm

Lost & Found

HOME 

Harbor on the way. A lighthouse in a storm. Home is where love is. Having a loving home is a rarity. We have to create it every day, work on ourselves to create an energetically clean home. Home is a place where we can be ourselves. A place that doesn’t judge us, but supports us. 

At first glance, the image may seem gloomy, but thanks to the colors and stylization, it combines the idea of loss with a new beginning and hope. Sometimes a massive wave comes over us that can knock us to our knees, but that doesn’t stop us if we keep the flame burning inside us and give. We can follow this inner flame and create from it a safe space, a home, a harbor that will light our way even in a challenging storm of emotions or life circumstances.
