In Petr Holeček's works we encounter a poetic-ironising level, which builds on analogies to motifs from mythology, dreams and the collective unconscious, but with a bit of human humour. Petr Holeček pushes the material possibilities of bronze and often creates sculptures out of solid and heavy metal, which affect the senses with their airiness and give the impression that they are perhaps even lightened by air. Petr Holeček first studied art education in České Budějovice, followed by a course in drawing in Ireland, and in 2004 he settled in Ireland and became an assistant in the studio of sculptor Patrick O. Reilly. This material and technology allows him to materialize previously unrealized thoughts and ideas. He regularly participates in major sculpture exhibitions in Ireland, and has also presented in exhibitions in Poland and the Czech Republic. In 2010 he was awarded the Mill Cove Award at The 25th Sculpture in Context Exhibition in Ireland.
