I created this site in order English speaking visitors could get to know me and the place where I am from. Hope you like it. Enjoy the time spent here.
Get to know me through a story... I´ll tell you one, please listen.
Once upon a time there was a little country in the heart of Europe. Its name was Slovakia. Many years people of that land had to live under control of nobles of other nations. But then, one day, Slovaks managed to free themselves and a history of a free nation has begun. And so has my story.
I was born in the East, in a cute little town called Michalovce. Let me show you:)
This story, the story of my hometown, is a specific one. I had a chance to glance it for the first time in 1988. Since I was a little baby then, I wasn´t able to perceive the beauty of it. As the years were passing by I lived my life without knowing what I had been given. But then came a day when I had to leave the town for my studies. Since I could be at home only during the weekends I finally found out what I would be missing.
Now I can say that I belong to a group of lucky people who happened to have been born in such a splendid region. Michalovce is located in a meadow called Východoslovesnká nížina and is said to be the capital of Zemplín region. Michalovce lies on the river Laborec. Nearby the town there is an artificially made lake called Zemplínska šírava. It is a very sought-after area mainly during the summer. A lot of people come to see and enjoy what it offers.

Zemplínska šírava
The proud natives of the region call this beautiful lake also the "Slovak sea". If exaggerating, this could be true... A small town has a small sea:) Anyway, Šírava attracts a lot of people every summer, especially on hot days, when you can cool yourself within its refreshing waters. However, this is not the only reason why to choose Šírava for your holiday destination. Many young people seek this place to have fun and have a chance to listen live to famous bands which use this time and play at the summer festivals.

What else to say... By this beauty that I was given to live within I have found the passion to paint. To catch the flying moment and place it onto the surface of paper so that it would retell the story to others. As a man is not perfect nor am I and my works. I still have much to study and to look for myself in this world. To look for my own style in painting and drawing, and finally for me. There is so much I would like to do or manage but sometimes it just does not work so I doubt if it´s right that some call me an artist... I would like to become one so I keep on searching for the right way.
