Background & Practice

I’ve loved to draw and paint since childhood. There was a period when I couldn’t stop painting in my teens, then there was a period when I hardly painted anything at all for about 15 years.

Many members of my family paint, my sister, Viola Kučerová, is a painter and my grandfather, Josef Konečný, was a traditional painter. He studied at the Prague Academy of Art in the 30s.

I’m mostly self taught and intuitive painter. I attended art courses for children and studied art for one semester at Masaryk University, Brno Czech Republic. I also studied Graphic Design in San Diego, California and this experience brought me back to creating art.

I’m Czech and come from Brno. I'm also American and I lived in California. 

Currently I live in Brno.

I participated in two group exhibitions in West Hollywood and I had two exhibitions together with my brother, Mikuláš Petr, a photographer in Prague.

My art evolved from the fantasy and realistic work of my teenage and young adult years to my current focus on mosaic and free-style landscapes and cityscapes, often fauvist in spirit, as well as whimsical fantasies and abstract works.

I began as a traditional artist, working with oil, gouache, pastel, and colored pencils. After a long break, I returned to art through watercolor, colored pencils, and mixed media. I then turned fully to digital painting, creating my works on an iPad using Procreate. At present, I am again exploring a balance between traditional and digital media, using both as a way to investigate their boundaries and possibilities.
