Oldrich Jelen is a\u00a0Czech artist who lives and creates in Prague. He was born in 1961 in the former Czechoslovakia in a small town, situated in the beautiful countryside of central Bohemia, in sight of the hill with significant medieval castle, which is part of Czech history. Romantic landscape with many forests and picturesque hills can also be seen in most of his pictures. Since childhood he had two passions, drawing and books. He apprenticed to a\u00a0bookbinder. This handicraft could base his precision.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

In his 23 he left the hometown and later was admitted to the Academy of Fine Arts in Prague. During his studies he began to illustrate to earn some extra money. So he started the cooperation with periodicals and publishing houses. At first, he was asked to create small thematic illustrations but after short period he gained creative freedom. Soon he became a sought-after illustrator and that was why he left the Academy after three years of study. In this period there were created drawings for many Czech newspapers and magazines, also Czech edition of Lettre International, Playboy, Penthouse, Quo and others. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

After The Velvet Revolution there were many opportunities to apply his talent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

His illustrations were published also in abroad.

You can find all the books Here.<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

He combines free and apllied art in na uncommon way. Although essential part of his artworks originate on the base of literary impulse, his pictures overreach initial text and create also their own worlds and stories and have an individual and independent life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
