artist statement
I am a holistic humanist.
In my work I am exploring themes of interconnectedness, compassion, and the intrinsic value of all life. I aim to reflects a holistic approach to humanity, acknowledging the interdependence between humans, animals, plants and the environment.
My commitment is promoting empathy, understanding, and ethical responsibility in my artistic practice, drawing inspiration from humanist principles while extending them to encompass a broader worldview that values the well-being of all living beings.
artist statement
Jsem humanista.
Ve své práci zkoumám témata propojenosti, soucitu a vnitřní hodnoty všeho života. Snažím se odrážet holistický přístup k lidstvu, uznávající vzájemnou závislost mezi lidmi, zvířaty, rostlinami a životním prostředím.
Svou uměleckou praxí podporuji empatii, porozumění a etickou odpovědnost. Inspiraci čerpám z humanistických principů a zároveň je rozšiřuji tak, aby zahrnovaly širší světonázor, který oceňuje blaho všech živých bytostí.
