In my thesis, I was very inspired by middle age, whitch has huge influence on my work. It is a epoch of my interest, I am activelly interrested in it and it is with me throught all my live, practicaly since childhood. In painting there are mainly motives of knight´s armor, whitch is underlying cornerstone of my work. My interrest in armor is caused by it´s technical perfection, decorativeness and majesty in the late phase. In that time technicaly did not acted function of protection, but it acted represetativ function and we can see it like a art or statue. By technical site I really experiment with lots of different technics, in many cases I never stay on single one. I work with layers, underlay, with drawing as well as painting. With diferent washing or scribing I open lower layers, I react to it and then I repaint it, simply experimenting. It is almoust archeology back to the old layers of picture. Discovery, connection older layers with new ones. About the painters whose I am interrested in they are primarily Josef Bolf, Vladimír Kokolia, Jaroslav Róna, Giger, Wolfli, Jackson Pollock.
