ABOUT THE ARTWORK

Wood is a beautiful,manageable and well workable material with hundreds of years living existence through the forest.With my craftsmanship, I like to get as close as close as possible to capture the overall elements and share them with you.The mask is made with a specific purpose. It has its own name which is told to the owner only. The mask creation starts with cutting down a tree according to month cycles. That has an influence on quality of the wood and its drying. The wood dries in natural way through several years. Then the wood is being carved without a model. The process is spontaneous and the meaning of the mask comes up gradually. The inlays in the mask are made of silver and bones of wild forest animals, mostly deer and roe. The part is strengthened with a copper plate. It has oil surface finish. Height 34 cm, width 23 cm, depth 13 cm.The mask is made of Basswood.

I was born in the Czech Republic in a small historic town, Karlovy Vary, where I have lived all my life. The most scientific inspiration for me is nature and its principles and natural cultures. I try to approach and materialize these principles with my work. I prefer to use materials for this - wood, bones, leather, antlers, silver, stone. All materials are fascinating to me, because they are alive.WOOD is a beautiful,manageable and well workable material with hundreds of years living existence through the forest.With my craftsmanship, I like to get as close as close as possible to capture the overall elements and share them with you. BONES is a natural noble material, reminiscent of the element of death. It is used for marquetry, decorating wooden products. Bones have memory.Our family has been working with wood for three generations, joiners, wood turners, and I try to bring the artistic side of creation as well. I thank my ancestors for the experience.
