Radek Chaloupka

Radek is an artist + designer + maker.

Born in the heart of Europe, in former Czechoslovakia, he embarked on a transformative journey that eventually led him to the vibrant city of Toronto, Canada, in 1988. It is here that Radek has not only found a home but has also woven the narrative of his artistic identity.

He is inspired by places he visits, people he meets. He takes interests in arts, architecture, design, science, philosophy, mythology or spirituality.

He studied graphic design and advertising at George Brown College where, at the time, lectured some of the finest artists and educators the city offered.
However, it was the subsequent exploratory years that unveiled his innate affinity for the transformative powers of sculpting and painting. His hands, guided by an intuitive understanding of the mediums, breathe life into the raw material, sculpting forms or painting visionary images that echo both tradition and innovation.

For Radek, each piece is a conversation with the element — a dialogue that unfolds between the artist, the material, and the stories waiting to be unveiled. Through his hands and creative mind, every piece transforms into timeless opus, capturing the spirit of the journey, the essence of his inspirations, and the beauty of the art that has become his life's passion.
