Ego I was born on 1st June 1972 at Ostrov nad Ohri. 1995 I graduated the UJEP University at Usti nad Labem. I studied Czech language and arts there. During my studies my interest in graphic art was started. Especially I liked woodcut and linocut. My artistic teachers were famous grahic artists Prof. Milos Michalek and Alois Kracmar. I prefer techniques of relief printing especially linocut and woodcut. I combine these classical techniques with active and structural graphic. I very often combine this printing with printing from other structural materials (alufoil, PVC etc…) One man exhibitions: 1990 1991 1993 - Public library in Klasterec nad Ohri (CZ) 1993 - CORA - CLUB in Litvinov (CZ) - Postal muzeum in Prague (CZ) - Experimental studio in Liberec (CZ) 1994 - "D - Gallery" in Varnsdorf (CZ) - Under Town Gallery in Kadan (CZ) - District library in Pardubice (CZ) 1995 - Kryt Gallery in Klasterec nad Ohri (CZ) 1996 - Tyl´s House in Kutna Hora (CZ) - District muzeum in Louny (together with Monika Kracmarová and Bohdan Busek) (CZ) 1998 - Experimental studio in Liberec (CZ) - Esprit Gallery in Plzen (CZ) - Ambit Gallery in Varnsdorf (CZ) 1999 - Little Gallery in Katowice (together with Krysztow Kmiec) (Poland) - Castle in Klasterec nad Ohri (CZ) - On the Bridge Gallery in Hradec Králove (CZ) 2000 - Albis Gallery in Usti nad Labem (CZ) - Kryt Gallery in Klasterec nad Ohri (CZ) 2001 - Salva Guarda Gallery in Litomerice (CZ) 2002 - Gallery of distrikt office in Decin (CZ) - Gallery Usmev in Varnsdorf (CZ) - Kryt Gallery in Klasterec nad Ohri (CZ) 2003 - Town library in Decin (CZ) - Josef Liesler´s gallery in Kadan (CZ) - Castle Kozel 2004 - Pardubice University Gallery in Pardubice - Kryt Gallery in Klasterec nad Ohri 2005 - Foyer of City theatre in Decin Participations: 1991 - Bohmische Dorfer - mail-art show in Regensburg and Cesky Krumlov (Germany, CZ) 1992 - "N-EUROVISION" - mail-art show in Giussano (Italy) - World ex libris exhibition in Sapporo (Japan) - "The First" - student exhibition in Usti nad Labem (CZ) - 7th triennial of ex libris in Chrudim (CZ) - International ex libris triennial in Katowice (Poland) 1993 - Gerard Mercator and cartography in ex libris in Sint-Niklaas (Belgium) - VOX HUMANA in Ostrava-Poruba (CZ) - Druk en papier in Oss (Holland) - Hommage Cavellini - mail-art show in Medzilaborce (Slovak Republic) 1994 - Francois Rabelais in ex libris in Meudon (France) - World ex libris exhibition in Milano (Italy) - Water and water sports in ex libris in Augustow (Poland) - VOX HUMANA in Ostrava-Poruba (CZ) - Praha - Graphic ´94 - 2nd triennial of nontraditional graphics in Prague (CZ) - 17 de flores juventutis in Gent (Belgium) 1995 - Ecology in ex libris in Sint-Niklaas (Belgium) - 8th triennial of ex libris in Chrudim (CZ) - International ex libris show in Bratislava (Slovak Republic) - 3rd triennial of woodcut and woodengraving in Banská Bystrica (Slovak Republic) - International ex libris show in Gliwice (Poland) - Paul Verlaine in ex libris in Metz (France) 1996 - International biennial of modern ex libris in Malbork (Poland) - Premio Cittá di Cassale in Cassale (Italy) - Invited graphics in Hollar in Prague (CZ) - International ex libris show in Chrudim (CZ) - 2nd International ex libris triennial in Katowice (Poland) - Miasto Wieliczka, zabytkowa kopalnia soli - 2nd ex libris competition in Wieliczka (Poland) 1997 - Ghenius Lozzi III in Monza (Italy) 1998 - Krnov in ex libris in Krnov (CZ) - International ex libris exhibition in St. Petersburg (Russia) - International competition of young ex libris artists in Niagara (Canada) - Competition of young ex libris artists in Podebrady (CZ) - 2nd triennial of ex libris in Bratislava (Slovak Republic) - Miasto Wieliczka, zabytkowa kopalnia soli - 3rd ex libris competition in Wieliczka (Poland) 1999 - Literature in ex libris in Sint-Niklaas (Belgium) - Ostrów Wielkopolski´99 - 8th triennial of ex libris in Ostrów Wielkopolski (Poland) - Bienala de grafica Mija Cluj - 1999 in Cluj (Romania) - Invited graphics in Hollar in Prague (CZ) - 9th triennial of ex libris in Chrudim (CZ) - Biennial of book art in Martin (Slovak Republic) - The best 1997 - 1998 ex libris in Milano (Italy) - Ex libris competition of young artists in Niagara (Canada) 2000 - Concorso internationale exlibristico "Giubileo 2000" in Pescara (Italy) - The 1st Cheju International print art festival in Cheju (Korea) - Ex libris Siauliai P.
