About Me

CURRENT MISSION

making some great art

ABOUT ME

Creativity and my friends are important to me. I can get carried away a little bit and stay very late at my studio and spent there my weekends. It's a bit worrying at times. When art is not going well I call my friends and ask for a reassurance. Later, I make it up to them by cooking dinners and and being really fun to be around.
I don't talk about art all the time (yawn).

I have returned from 5 month stay in Japan recently. My culture shock is gone but trying to upkeep my Japanese. Can't wait to be back in my studio.

PHILOSOPHY

Joy!!!
Apart from that I have many questions. However I believe that there are some really simple answers to most of them.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

from travel things- Burma / Myanmar in 2002 , in the middle of monastery at the dawn with Buddhist Monks chanting for our happy lives in the future.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can take you around Brighton, recommend some well hidden cafes and venues in London or independent art galleries. On more practical level I do have some real art skills (believe me it is not just a concept in art!!!) And if you are really interested I can teach you some Czech vocabulary.
