Jiří Klimenta

Bio

Jiří Klimenta is a student in the Intermedia 2 studio at the Academy of Fine Arts, under the supervision of Pavla Sceranková, Dušan Záhoranský and Roman Štětina. He spent the summer term of 2025 at Det Fynske Kunstakademi in Odense, Denmark, as part of the Erasmus+ programme. His work is based primarily on intuitive, free-flowing drawing, which takes on an almost diary-like quality, yet reflects diverse social and often environmental themes. An important aspect of his work is the material experience; drawings from the pages of his sketchbook become part of objects that explore the limits of traditional painting on canvas. He enjoys spending time drawing in nature, discovering new music and collecting essential items, both old and new, such as key rings and dog figurines.
