Concept artist
& stage designer

I am a concept artist focusing on environment design and keyframe storytelling. My work explores the dialogue between space, light, and narrative — how environments themselves can shape meaning, mood, and story. I work mainly with Blender and Photoshop, combining 3D workflows with digital painting to create cinematic images that capture atmosphere and narrative.

For me, art has always been about space. Space is not a neutral background — it is a place of possibility, where imagination transforms reality into new realities. Concept art allows me to develop this vision directly for film, games, and visual media.

Before turning to concept art, I worked for more than 15 years as a scenographer. I created stage designs for the National Theatre in Prague, the Slovak National Theatre, and the National Theatre Brno. These projects taught me how light, rhythm, and scale can transform space into a story. I also worked as a project leader in CGI visualization for international architecture studios such as AECOM London and Peter Pichler Architecture.

Today, I see concept art not as a break from scenography, but as its continuation — a way to bring spatial storytelling into new worlds and media.
