I have passion to observe and capture life - especially, the life in my
country, as I feel, there is still so much I don't know about it yet. Since
2007 I have travelled through towns and the countryside, attended
folklore and music festivals, political protests, religious celebrations,
pilgrimages and air shows.
I don't photograph them in a purely documentary way. My chronicle is
not supposed to be factual, history does not flow linearly. I like to
capture fragments of stories - often very bizarre, ironic, tragicomic,
which tell much more about the life of the country than the “official”
portrait of “Slovakia - little big country” with its beautiful nature and kind
people. Sometimes things are different and more complex than they
might seem to be like on the first or even second sight.
