He graduated from Faculty of Art at Technical University in Slovakia with a focus on experimental art, developing a distinctive style that combines meticulous precision with contemplative depth.

Statement
My flower paintings are created entirely from real flowers, petals, leaves, and herbs. Each piece is a one-of-a-kind work of art. Every flower, petal, and leaf is carefully hand-picked, dried, and then arranged on canvas into spectacular compositions.
After collecting the natural materials, I carefully prepare them to preserve their form, color, and texture for as long as possible. The plants on canvas have a soothing effect — their natural presence invites calm, helps improve concentration, and inspires multiple interpretations of their meaning.
These works are not just decorative pieces; they are meditative compositions. By bringing natural elements into interior spaces, my paintings create a tangible connection to the natural world and remind viewers of its quiet beauty.
One of my other artistic pursuits involves creating large-scale drawings of medieval cathedral floor plans on sports fields or natural meadows. These drawings are executed either at a symbolic scale or in their actual proportions.
I aim to explore the relationship between the physical and cultural dimensions of the cathedrals and the context of the spaces in which the drawings are created.
At the same time, I seek to provoke reflection on the spiritual dimensions these sacred spaces represent.
