Hello, I’m Zdeněk

I studied at the academy in Brno and worked as a theatre scene painter for twenty years, mostly on very large canvases. Since 2016 I have painted portraits at the opposite scale, in an attic room with a skylight over the old town.

I like to paint people slowly, over several sittings, and to draw the same face again in ink when the painting is dry. Everything I have made on commission is listed here by year, sitter and kind.
