“A great artistic collaboration is the starting point for my work”.

The basis of my philosophy and creative activity is authorial collaboration.

I am not a materialist, even though we work with material. I prefer the author himself and his work, which has the greatest power for me. The entire process of communication and creation, from the design to the realization of the final product, takes place in my creative studio in Piešťany.

- I only use unconventional and interesting materials with an emphasis on ecology
- I have the most modern printing technologies
- I mainly focus on working in digital media
- I process the used work in such a way that its value remains preserved
- I work with more than 80 contemporary authors

I like to create “tailor-made” collaborations for various interesting clients. I materialize the idea of ​​a product in a symbiosis of design and quality.
