Jan Valer

I love painting and drawing.

Started as an autodidact I drew things and people around me and - due to my university studies of botany - flowers and trees.

After university studies I was attending evening classes of drawing, painting and sculpturing in one art school in Brno.

An important step towards my own independent work was the acquisition of a studio in the former Vlněna factory in
Brno.
My work has undergone many phases in the last few years and I still cannot say that it has settled in a style. The reason behind this is that I try to submit the form to momentary feelings, attitudes and perceptions of the external world as well as of my own internal one. As a matter of fact, I do not even want to stay in a little box of a style since I enjoy finding new expressions for my artistic work.
In 2017 I co-founded KVARK atelier dusetvorby z.s. - an NGO which helps artists with mental illness.
