Bio

Matyáš Kočí is a Czech artist who lives and creates in Prague. His main artistic fields are painting and tattooing but he also makes graphic prints, sculptures and large scale murals.

Painting is its core focus. The main technique he uses is painting with oil paints on canvas. His work has long been concerned with the connection between man and nature. In his paintings, the motif of landscape often appears, whether it is a real or imaginary landscape. Expressive colour and the play with perspective are other characteristic elements of his works. In 2018-2021 he studied painting in the studio of doc. ak. mal. Roman Franta and Mgr. lukáš miffek and since 2021 he has been creating and exhibiting independently.

Tattooing he has been working on his first tattoo since 2016, when he bought his first machine at the same time. Since then, he has slowly developed as a tattoo artist and in 2019 he has already started to devote himself to the tattoo craft. The motifs most often found in his work are made up of lines combined with areas filled with black ink. However, he also creates colour motifs. Most of his designs are created first in ink on paper and only afterwards converted into tattoo form. Now he works in the tattoo studio babylon tattoo space, which is located in Prague 4.
