Jaroslav Bejvl
|
* 13-04-1941, Janovice nad Úhlavou, Czechoslovakia (occupied, now Czech Republic)
BiographyAs a young boy Bejvl was taught arts in secondary school with private lessons in low relief from Ladislav Havlas. After the war he found a wife and a job which left few to wish for. In 1962 he got a job as a lighting designer at Preciosa-Lustry in Prague. His designs can be seen all over the world in and outside palaces, mosques and hotels including China, Hong Kong, Russia, Saudi-Arabia and the United States.
Although he became a famous lighting designer, Bejvl was actually trying to amass fame as a medallist. Even in the beginning of the seventies a participated in contests of the national bank for designing coins. His experience and lessons from Havlas helped him with that. In 1985 he got the chance to design the commemorative coin for Josef Lada. Later he designed more commemorative coins (see below) and the 20 haleru circulation coin for the Czech Republic, as well as many medals. |
