About Me
PHILOSOPHY
I dont want to make the best of everyday. I think some days should be ordinary. And some days should be sad. And some days should be magical.
Decisions should be made without fear or ambition.
-Memento Mori.

Interests
performance- I performed at festivals Hradby Samoty, Biela Noc and was playing in Archa theatre in prague
art- I do figurative paintings in oil.
art history- yet I didnt have any art teachers I learn from old masters and those are the ones I can truly percieve and feel. I feel the closest to Goya. Other very dear painter to me are Rembrandt, Gogh, Cezanne, Bosch, Fuseli, Doré, František Bílek, Durer...,
I put paintings that interest me sometimes on my http://theuglyduchess.tumblr.com/
Im a passionate tea drinker. I would have been a snob if my memory was any good. My all time favourites are light oolongs and recently i got really into sencha
I get inspired by many things. Biology is one of them. Such things as composition of DNA and the lifestyle of animals are endless pits of inspiration. I love the atmosphere of places, gestures of people I like,
I enjoy horseback riding...and i am goddamn amazing at Dobble. Also I will destroy you at table ice hockey.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
-When I was about 7 I was on a performance of Genesis by SĽUK. It was a singing-acting performance unlike any other I know. I remember holding my breath throughout the whole performance and still have vivid images of it.
-At the age of 12 I entered the Canterbury Cathedral. I just stood there feeling the infinity. Canterbury Cathedral grew into me from that day.
-My parents have horses and we went a couple of times for horse riding trails where we rode whole day(variably 2-7 days) It was such an adventure. It is an another dimension od horse riding. I felt like I was so close to my horse at the end.
