Milos Beran was born in Lanskroun, Czech Republic, in 1962. Since he finished studies at the Institute of Chemical Technology, Department of fermentation chemistry and bioengineering, he has worked in the Food Research Institute in Prague as a research worker. Except his profession, he is interested in music /from underground to classical/, literature, poetry, film, psychology, nature ..... . He started to paint at a secondary school, but in those days he was more famous for production of alcoholic drinks, especially cherry "champagne". A symbolic painting dream, he had many years ago, has an important role in his decision to dedicate most of his free time to painting. Since that time painting has became a deep inner need for him. Regarding his painting techniques, he started with oil pastels, continued with oil painting, and he is engaged in encaustics (painting with hot waxes) at the present time. His present works are influenced by experiences with psychedelic substances and fascination
by fractal geometry, such as Mandelbrodt's sets. Don't miss animated fractals ! He has had six solo exhibitions in Prague since 1997. Milos is also engaged in book illustrations. The content of the gallery will be updated.New
