My name is Vojtěch Šimek and I’m a painter from Brno, Czech Republic, specializing in oil portraits and inspired by the beauty of classical art, especially the Baroque era.

My work is influenced by masters like Rembrandt, Velázquez and Van Dyck, whose use of light, depth and emotion continues to guide my artistic journey.

Art is like a second world to me, a place where I always find peace. It feels like a personal form of therapy — a space where I can step away from everyday life and immerse myself in the endless beauty of colour and emotion.

I also enjoy classical music, travelling and making my own music.
