About Jakub

Born in Prague in 1980.

2007 graduated at Academy of Arts, Architecture & Design in Prague, Czech Republic.

Jakub’s work is characterized by complex statue units looking like figures or abstract objects based on the figure shapes made of natural fragments – most often wood. The art pieces are inspired by nature and mystical cultural tradition. Statues are personification of metaphysical considerations; work is stimulated by questions of human existence, its meaningfulness and by questions of intangible factors going beyond the capabilities of human understanding. Despite a rough appearance of the used material, the resulting whole looks very gentle and harmonious what makes the art pieces natural, not distracting and a well-marked part of any environment.

Interests: snowboardcross coach of the Czech junior national team and of Eva Samková who won the first gold medal in this discipline at the Winter Olympic Games in Sochi 2014.
