Visual artist / sculptor
Ondřej Oliva
I aim to create objects whose form and content are accessible even to the everyday viewer.
Most of my themes come from everyday life, allowing viewers to connect them easily with their own experience.
A graduate of the Academy of Fine Arts in Prague, where he studied sculpture under Jaroslav Róna. His work is represented in the National Gallery in Prague, the Museum of Young Art Artbanka, and private collections in the Czech Republic and abroad.
