"I guess my love of primitive toys, admiration of simplicity, simple mechanical devices and old things in general, translates into my work. As for the kinetic objects, there is something unreal and magical about a balancing object- it almost defies the law of nature, the movement is so hypnotic- it's about to fall, and yet it is not falling- a miracle." - Tomas Savrda

Tomas Savrda was born in Czechoslovakia and studied at the Hollar School of Visual Arts in Prague. After a few years working as a graphic designer in Prague, he spent a year in France, then moved to the United States where he began a long career as a graphic designer and computer graphic artist for numerous clients and advertising agencies. Finding the work unfulfilling in the end, he started to pursue his main interest - creating kinetic objects and assemblages - full-time. He has received numerous awards for his work which can be found in many galleries throughout the U.S. He lives and works in Kent, CT.
