I have been designing and creating jewelry since 1996, when I was admitted to the Academy of Arts, Architecture and Design in Prague (UMPRUM), the Department of Metal and Jewelry led by Prof. K. V. Novák. During my studies, I explored various artistic techniques and became acquainted with new and innovative technologies. I work with precious metals, titanium, and stainless steel. Through electroplating and powder coating, I introduce vibrant color variations to my pieces. Gilding lends the jewelry a touch of exclusivity, silver plating evokes the dreamlike atmosphere of a winter landscape, while the metallic silver-grey tone of ruthenium enhances each piece with a distinctive allure. I have participated in several exhibitions in the Czech Republic and abroad. At Designblok 2023, I presented my collection Hory přenáším (“Love can Move Mountains”), which was also featured in 2026 at the Muestra jewelry exhibition as part of the Madrid Design Festival. I remain open to any technique. The process always begins with an idea that gradually crystallizes over time. I then refine it with dedication and respect for the craft, striving to achieve its most perfect form. I aim to transcend traditional jewelry-making techniques and am not afraid to push beyond their boundaries.

| Description | Jewelry from the “Love Can Move Mountains” collection is created from casts of stones and minerals. Their structures inspire further exploration and interpretation, offering unique forms to engage with. The shape here is not a rigid replica of a rock or mineral. On the contrary, it is a living inspiration, inviting creative jewelry-making. Each piece is a composition inspired by its original form, as well as by the many memories and impulses stored in the unconscious. The silver and gold pieces represent a symbiosis of precious metals and minerals. I most often work with iron, garnet, opal, tourmaline, and meteorite. In the creative process, I explore and experiment with new possibilities and techniques, ones that can always surprise. |
