Jakub Flejšar

06.02.2026-15.03.2026

FROM VENICE TO MILAN IN A SNOWBOARD LEAP

Czech artist Jakub Flejšar, former snowboard coach of Olympic and world champion Eva Samková, will be a constant presence in Milan in the same period when the Winter Olympics 2026 will take place ; this time, however, as an artist.
From February 6 to March 15, 2026, Jakub Flejšar will exhibit four large-scale works, a temporary land art intervention across Milan’s urban landscape.

Fondation Valmont plays a central role in Flejšar’s Milan presentation. His trio of sculptures — Self Transformation — was previously shown at Palazzo Bonvicini in Venice as part of the group exhibition Telemachus. The Quest for Self, organised and supported by Fondation Valmont. These three works form a series of self‑portraits, each reflecting a key stage in the artist’s personal evolution.
