The open call by Artist's Hero to participate in a competition for a sculpture in the atrium of the Kasselbauer residence in the center of Bratislava marked the beginning of my journey toward my first permanently installed public sculpture.

The Art Studio Pilgrimage concept was created in collaboration with Marek Jakúbek, who, alongside his team of curators, connects the world of young artists with guests of Augustine, a Luxury Collection Hotel, Prague with passion and expertise. Thanks to his initiative and curatorial team, Art Studio Pilgrimage becomes a true journey of inspiration, opening doors to the world of contemporary art. Visits to the studios of young painters and sculptors offer a unique insight into their work and provide authentic contact with the Prague art scene. Truly a transformative experience that enriches our guests' stay.
