What is your graduation work about?

In my graduation work, I focus on three restored works of art and theoretical work. The first restored piece is the St. Nicolas sandstone sculpture. The second one is a marble sculpture of a girl, Bathing, by Karel Lenhart. The last one is the sgraffito entitled Man-at-Arms. In the theoretical part of my thesis, I discuss the possibilities of marble sculptures restoration. I try to find the best methods in this area and the best methods of removing sulfate crusts.

What do you do besides your graduation work?

I am also involved in promoting events, organizing space for music concerts, and buying and pre-selling mobile devices. I also occasionally commercially translate various texts for people for financial compensation.

In what conditions would you like to work on your graduation work?

I would love to work on my graduation work in a space where I would be completely alone.

What would you imagine to be an alternative culmination of your studies at AVU, in place of the defense of your graduation work?

If that was not a defense, then I have no idea.
