With the exception of geometric and abstract compositions set into empty spaces, the focus of Typlt’s work has become the human figure – especially children. A contrasting and unusually varied colour scheme is a typical feature of Typlt’s art, who often uses gouache to connect the transitions from drawings to paintings. His work is characteristic by spontaneity and lively gestures.


Typlt first studied under professor Jiří Šalamoun at the Academy of Arts, Architecture and Design in Prague, and then with professor Jiří Načeradský at the Faculty of fine Arts in Brno and later at the Dusseldorf Kunstakademie.
