About

“I just love the world of illusion that makes sense to reality.”

Jan Kadlec

Jan Kadlec (born 1976) graduated from the Academy of Fine Arts in Prague and, in the 1990s, dazzled the Czech art scene with his visionary installations. He later brought his talents to architecture, stage design, costume design and film production design.

In 2025 he won Czech Lions for Best Production Design, Best Costumes and Best Film Poster for Girl America. He lives in Prague and in Lugano, Switzerland.
