Maxim Havlíček – A Czech Artist Between Prague and Los Angeles

Maxim Havlíček (*1974) is a visual artist whose work blends calligraphy, abstraction, and experimentation with materials. He grew up in Prague, shaped by the atmosphere of the communist regime as well as classical training at the Hellichovka art school. Since the 1990s, he has lived abroad, primarily in Los Angeles, where he established his own studio.

His paintings are defined by gestural script, layered calligraphy, and strong textures that add depth to the canvas. Many of his works contain hidden messages and symbols, inviting viewers to interpret them freely. He draws inspiration from science, philosophy, and music, which he has been connected to since his youth.

Today, Havlíček is a recognized artist exhibiting worldwide, with his works included in both private and public collections.
