Czech post-occupation culture is rich in stories and fables about mystical creatures, talking pets and seductive huntsmen. Watching animations and listening to these kinds of stories ignited my ongoing love for movies and taught me, how wonderful it can be, when a story is executed well.

Another big part was my parent’s love for post war Czech music. It oftentimes mixes traditional folklore motives with blues and traces of jazz, brought to the Czech Republic by American soldiers at the end of WW2.

With these aspects being big parts of my adolescence, I am fascinated by how seemingly arbitrary things can be combined in an entertaining and memorable fashion. Similar to the sometimes strange songs my parents grew up with, I always try to find exciting new ways to convey an Idea, be it purely through sound, through a blend of a lighthouse and two cars on a road, or trees burning and morphing into tanks.

I like things to surprise me, which is why I aim to avoid having my work fall into any kind of repetitive pattern. One of my biggest goals and something I hope to expand on is the skill to surprise not only my audience but also myself.
