about
Marek's passion for cinema didn't ignite within the confines of a theater, nor was it sparked by a camera gifted from his father or an aged 8mm windup discovered in his grandfather's attic. His journey took a more expansive and unconventional route—through the realm of Lego. Uninterested in instruction manuals, he harnessed the building blocks with his vivid imagination, conjuring his own protagonists and constructing his own realms. Instead of the well-trodden path of conventional film school, he adopted a more scholarly approach, immersing himself in film studies at Palacky University, ultimately culminating in a degree in journalism.
A mere year after venturing into the sphere of advertising, noteworthy brands including Ikea, Telekom, Zalando, and McDonald's have all enlisted his services, bearing testament to his impact in the industry.
Marek's creative essence straddles two distinct domains. The first encapsulates a realm of whimsical humor, an art department drenched in vibrant hues, and an assembly of lively characters. On the flip side, his second sphere delves into profound cinematic territory, evoking emotions with cinematic finesse. His adeptness in this duality grants him the ability to craft narratives brimming with profound emotions, encapsulating the essence of human nature with a poignant touch. Rather than being disparate, these dual styles harmoniously coalesce, a testament to Marek's capacity to encapsulate life's intricate tapestry within his body of work.
