I have been studying photography on ITF Opava (Czech republic) since 2001, where I currently completing my PhD. dissertation named: “Inflation of Visual Information of the Digital Age”.

And that's why I deal with documentation of what is happening or not happening on the screen in our hands, in the desire to look, snoop, discover, admire, stalking. Sometimes, however, the technique of painting and deconstructs itself into abstract shapes.
