Projects

01 Lucid dreams
A series of visual experiments created from my own photographic material and digitally transformed fragments of reality.

The images exist somewhere between photography and digital painting.
Objects, creatures and landscapes appear as if emerging from a dreamlike state — partially recognizable, partially transformed.

The series explores the fragile boundary between the physical world and its digital reflection.







02 Lustr Festival — BjubaArt projectIntermedia installation combining looped digital animation, object, digital illustration and wooden sculpture.

Digital animation created in collaboration with Břetislav Kašpar (3D Generalist & Animator). 
Sound — Libor Ščerba

At the heart of the project is Bjuba, a small, living, pebble-like creature with an egg-shaped body. A symbol of constant transformation, Bjuba does not hide, yet remains easy for humans to overlook.

The project combines a looping digital animation, a physical wooden sculpture, and 3D print model of Bjuba to create an intermedia installation in which Bjuba moves between different forms and states of being.






03    The White Peacock  — Interior Mural

The White Peacock  is a large-scale interior mural created for Bistro Ořechovka in Prague, designed by RicharDavidArchitekti.
The restaurant is a meeting place for the local neighborhood community and reflects the owner’s long-standing relationship with travel and Japanese culture. The architectural concept of the interior was already defined, and my role was to introduce a mural that would soften and warm the space while preserving its lightness and openness.

The painting develops as an atmospheric landscape of misty trees and subtle decorative elements inspired by nature. Using a watercolor-like technique, the mural flows gently across the walls, creating a sense of movement and air within the interior.

White peacocks appear within the composition together with a female figure gradually transforming into one of them — a slightly mystical motif interpreted in a playful and light manner.

Today the mural has become a recognizable visual element of the restaurant and an informal meeting point where visitors often photograph themselves and share the space on social media.









04    Small Nocturne – Mural & Ceiling ornament


Small Nocturne is a decorative mural created for the apartment hotel Emerald Art Nouveau House in Prague, designed by RicharDavidArchitekti.
I was originally invited to design a visual solution for the ornamental ceiling moldings. After the initial intervention proved successful, the architects asked me to extend the concept and develop a mural for the interior spaces in the same visual language.

The composition reflects the moment between night and morning — a nocturnal sky mirrored in a still pond, surrounded by emerging flowers. A small satyr musician appears above the scene, introducing a subtle musical and mythological reference.

The decorative elements flow through the architecture of the apartment, appearing on walls, ceilings and moldings, creating a continuous ornamental narrative within the interior.

The project was later published in Elle Decoration (Summer 2018).






05   The Small God of the Woods – Hand Painted Cabinet IllustrationThis project is a custom hand-painted cabinet created on commission for a family of botanists and gardeners.
The brief was to incorporate plant motifs while creating a scene suitable for a children's room. The intention was to avoid an overly childish aesthetic and instead create an illustration that could grow with the children over time — something poetic, calm and timeless.

The landscape wraps around the entire cabinet and depicts a quiet woodland environment inhabited by a small forest deity inspired by the ancient myth of Pan, the god of the woods. The tiny figure is almost hidden within the scenery, inviting the viewer to discover it gradually.

The project transforms a functional piece of furniture into a story-driven illustrated object.







06 Lamia — Tattoo DesignTattoo design created for a private client.
The central motif is Lamia, the mythological serpent-woman, rising vertically through a stylised natural landscape. The composition combines delicate botanical line drawing with a darker, fluid central figure, creating a strong vertical movement suitable for the human back.

The design was conceived as a large-scale back tattoo, allowing the illustration to follow the natural structure and symmetry of the body.
A visual mock-up was created to help the client imagine the placement and scale of the design.

Originally, the design also served as a possible cover for an existing tattoo on the lower back.






07 Wooden Essence — Yakisugi Illustrations
Spacial Magazine / Lasvit
The project was developed to accompany an article about Yakisugi and its influence on contemporary glass design.
Yakusugi is a traditional Japanese method of preserving wood by controlled charring, creating a unique texture and long-lasting material. The illustrations translate this process into a visual narrative that connects natural transformation, fire, and material experimentation.
The final images were published in Spacial Magazine (Lasvit) and were designed to communicate complex technical processes in a visually engaging and atmospheric way.





08 Bunny Garden – Botanical Wallpaper Pattern
This wallpaper pattern combines botanical drawings with playful rabbit illustrations arranged in a repeating composition.

The design was created using hand-drawn elements, combining loose sketches of plants, animals and small narrative details. The goal was to create a pattern that feels lively and natural while maintaining a light and elegant atmosphere.

The illustration mixes delicate line drawings with soft color accents, allowing the pattern to remain visually rich without becoming overwhelming.

The design is suitable for wallpaper, textiles or interior decoration.
