“I am seeking, I am striving, I am in it with all my heart.”

Vincent van Gogh

Painting is an escape, painting is exploration, painting is fun, painting is communication.

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 fantasy and realistic art of my teenage and young adult years to current mosaic style landscapes and cityscapes, whimsical fantasy cities and other themes and abstract art.

I love colors, I’m obsessed with them and I constantly experiment with them. Colors and color combinations is where my main focus is at present. I want to understand what colors do to us and find the perfect colors for the moods I want people and me feel when looking at my art.

I was a traditional artist. I painted in oil, gouache, pastel and color pencils. After my long break I started with watercolor and color pencils and mixed media. Now I’m fully focused on digital painting. I paint all my artworks on my iPad in the Procreate app.
