Usually, this would be the time for a new long video.
But instead of rushing one, I’ve been slowly going deeper into something that genuinely feels like a new direction for me artistically.
Lately I’ve been revisiting Chagall — not only his colors, but the freedom, imagination and emotional logic in his paintings. And it’s starting to affect my own work in unexpected ways.
I even went back to an older watercolor painting that felt too controlled to me… and began adding more playful and fantasy-like elements into it.
I think the next weeks will be less about polished conclusions and more about exploration: small experiments, sketches, color studies, strange ideas, maybe becoming a little less afraid of imagination in my paintings.
So instead of disappearing until the next long video, I’ll probably share parts of that process here and in Shorts while I continue working on the Chagall video.

I’m curious where this leads. Maybe some of you will enjoy following that journey with me too.

My new video is now live.
It is about Brno, my hometown — but really, it is about distance, return, and seeing an old place differently after something inside you has changed.
I always wanted to leave Brno.So why am I painting it now?
In the video, I share the story behind several new Brno paintings, including historical streets, forest scenes, a sketch, and a new naive-style park painting.

I finished a new video about Brno — but it is not really a city guide.
It is more about what changed between me and my hometown.
For most of my life, I wanted to leave Brno. It felt too familiar, too connected with an older version of my life. But after living abroad, especially in California, and coming back, I started seeing it differently.
And now I’m painting it.
The video includes several Brno paintings, a sketch, forest scenes near my home, and a new naive-style painting of people in a park.
Coming today at 5:30 pm GMT, 12:30 pm EST and 9:30 am PST

My new video is up

I don’t always know where a painting is going when I begin — but that may be part of the point.

This video is about that.

This week’s video will come a bit later.
I needed a short break — and also a bit more time to finish something that feels important to me.
The next video is more about the process itself… the moments where I don’t really know what I’m doing, but follow it anyway.
Coming next Sunday.

I just published a new video.
It’s about my long relationship with Prague and how it has shaped my art over time.
This one is very personal — it connects my early experiences, painting, and recent work in a way I didn’t fully see before.
If you watch it, I’d love to know:Has a place ever influenced your creativity?

Sometimes you discover an artist at exactly the right moment.
I knew the name Henri Matisse for years, but I never really connected with his work. Recently I started looking more closely at his colors—and something unexpected happened.
I tried painting with his color palettes during my daily art practice… and it felt strangely familiar.
Like recognizing something I had already been searching for in my own work.
New video is up if you're curious about what happened when I tried it.

I’ve been drawing and painting every day for the past 30 days.

Not to improve.
Not to prove anything.

But to understand something I felt was slightly out of alignment in my work.

Some days were easy.
Some were… very far from it.

But something shifted.

I’ll share the full video at 19:15 GMT.
I’m curious what you’ll see in it.

I didn’t plan to paint Znojmo — and maybe that’s why it mattered so much.

This video is about arriving without intention, walking without a goal, and noticing the places that quietly stay with you long after you leave.

If you’ve ever been surprised by a place that changed how you see or create, I think you’ll understand this one

Last summer I visited the Upper Belvedere in Vienna to finally see Klimt in person.

What surprised me was how much that experience changed my feelings — not only about Klimt, but about Van Gogh and my own artistic heart.

This video is a quiet, honest museum walk — part art, part memory, part becoming.

I hope it resonates with those of you who love seeing art slowly
