I have been really into Czech Animation since 2001. It is very intriguing for me that Czech creators have developed
their unique non-verbal expressions in their history.

Experiences that I saw tons of animation by Jiri Trunka and Jiri Barta from Czech Republic, and Kihachiro Kawamoto
from Japan took me to Canada in 2002, which is famous for “NFB”, where especially Norman Mclaren had created
fabulous animation works and I thought it would be a good environment to learn such art-oriented things.

I have still kept on creating mainly puppet animation and flipbooks since 2004.
Its analog tactile imagination from puppet animation, and fresh color-scheme ideas from natural beauty in Canada
still inspire me a lot with my works. Also, a lot of space-layout is a key feature of my works. Its idea basically
comes from Japanese calligraphy that I was familiar with when I was a child.
