Soul of Flowers
Soul of Flowers is my first monograph, bringing together nearly seventy botanical paintings. Alongside the artworks, the book explores the origins and habitats of individual plants, the legends and folk traditions associated with them, their symbolism in the language of flowers, and many other fascinating stories, compiled by journalist and writer Klára Mandausová.
Each chapter also includes a section entitled Through the Artist's Eyes, where I share personal reflections, memories and associations connected with the flowers, their collection, and the process of painting them.
The book became a bestseller in the Czech Republic and has gone through several reprints. It was subsequently published internationally, including editions in Latvia and China, as well as an adapted edition in the United States.

Bird Soul
Bird Soul is dedicated to the charming inhabitants of the bird kingdom. The book brings together detailed paintings of some of the most familiar Central European birds, accompanied by informative, engaging and often delightful texts by ornithologist Barbora Kaminiecká.
The project was created with the support of the Czech Society for Ornithology, the country's largest non-governmental nature conservation organisation.
Designed for both adults and younger readers, the book offers an opportunity to discover common bird species while appreciating their beauty and intricate details through art.
