About the author:
Michal Těhel (*1975) is a Czech painter and illustrator who contributed illustrations to Jusa Vid – The Messenger in the Storm of Time by Czech author Michal Gulyáš. The book is a fantastic story that combines elements of adventure, magic, and historical events.
Michal Těhel is known for his unique style, which often combines elements of realism with fantastic and dreamlike motifs. He learned his technique by copying the works of old Flemish masters, but his free work is rooted in surrealism, with Salvador Dalí's work being his main inspiration.
By using oil paints, he achieves subtle transitions of light and shadow, giving his works extraordinary depth and a dreamlike atmosphere. These paintings can be full of details such as mirror reflections, long shadows, or hints of non-existent landscapes.
His surrealist works are widely represented in private collections, both domestic and European, as well as in the USA and Canada.
