I love to create… I love to wander around the city, explore new places, I love to keep my eyes open and just look around and observe the simple everyday life in which I am always looking for inspiration. I can’t go a day without music, I love to experience it and it has never let me down. I love atypical and unique things.

How are you feeling at the moment?
Relaxed, I’m just worried about the general injustice.

Where do you look for inspiration in your life?
Simplicity. What’s simple is often most effective and powerful.

Is there anything you’re hiding from others?
Yes, I often like to keep things to myself. I really like to create collages from the photos I take. It gives me the ability to reshape what I’ve already created. I enjoy watching the process when a random idea turns into something I didn’t even expect. Few people also know that my dream was to learn how to mix music. Last Christmas, I recorded a DJ set along with a video for my loved ones and sent it out on Christmas Day so I could be with everyone, at least in this way. 

Who or what does your heart beat for?
For those who can smile genuinely and sincerely.

What gave you strength when you needed it the most?
The smiles of those closest to me. And coffee.

What is the most precious thing in your life?
My amazing family, my soulmate (partner) and close friends. 

Is there anything that bothers you about today’s society?
Insincerity and unkindness. And people not living their dreams. 

Do you consider Prague to be anonymous?
Not really.

What is the meaning of art in public space?
Public space should be inspiring. Everyone, in my opinion, can find the kind of art that is closest to them in public space. It can be a sticker on a pole, a glass vase in a café, or it can be a luminous company logo you see on the street. More distinctive pieces of art in public space, unfortunately, still remain more or less universally misunderstood. I wish people were a lot more openminded.

What is your role in the project and what does it entail?
I am involved in shaping the unique visual identity of the project. Together with the creative team, we strive to create content that not only informs, but also aesthetically appeals to our followers on social platforms. I’m behind the project’s photos. I started working with the project completely by accident last August, I guess it was fate.
