Formally, you can see me signing and claiming that I am Lubomir, and fair enough, that is what my dear parents decided to call me. As I was growing up, and especially when I reached 15 and started flirting with poetry and creative expression, I found it very important to come up with a more accurate name that would represent my actual state of the soul.
My first pseudonym as an artist was Strauss because I tended to write poetry and rhymes under the influence of music, often classical or experimental. Later on, I felt that I needed something more playful that would represent my love for cats and the joy of creation, so I started calling myself and signing my poetry with the pseudonym Klbko, which translates as a ball of yarn. After years, I tend to think that it also had something to do with my teenage and desire to playfully encounter the world. Who knows?
Time went on, and I shifted my focus towards serious existential questions, dealing with anxiety and depression, which kept bending my reality and flipping my life over every time the party was over. Nevertheless, I felt useless and not enough many times. The more I went through dark times, the more I felt like an ordinary man, one of millions. I was close to music at that time, rapping my soul out, performing under the pseudonym Človek milión, meaning "one of millions." I was part of a band with the same name, and we played several gigs around Slovakia and made it to the radio with one of our songs.
Even this time was over after two seasons of performing, as I wanted to travel, relocate, encounter new challenges, and taste life in a new country. I ended up relocating to Norway, moving back and forth between Norway and Slovakia. During this period, I found my new identity as Lego Medveď, meaning Lego Bear. It kind of represents my artistic self since 2016, as it is based on the contrasts in life. There is this playful, joyful, almost childish aspect to my creation, but on the other side, I wrestle with my inner, natural, raw power, which is often difficult to comprehend, but over the years, I found ways to deal with.
The most prominent tool I gained to master this is an ancient meditation technique called Vipassana, where one can develop tremendous capability to focus, among other amazing things which become so beneficial in one's life. I took several ten-day courses, where I learned the way of unprecedented razor-sharp focus, and this single ability definitely changed my life forever.
Progressing in life brought my dear Barbora and our amazing son Jakob into my world. I came to deal with the mediocrities of daily life and unexpected situations, which were often difficult to cope with. In these times, I always found my ability to focus as the single most important superpower that contributed to a winning strategy.
Creativity-wise, this gift of prolonged concentration always determined whether my creation could come to life and whether it met my original intention.
In this life of ever-evolving and ever-expanding realms, I only stay true and honest with my spirit when I can narrow down, find the last thought that was holding my intention, get back to it, and continue.
Pseudonyms can change and adapt to new inspirations or personal evolution, families grow at the speed of a finger snap, people inevitably come and go, but the eternal light of a candle, lit to revive the original intention, makes one's life a journey of growth.
This realization also helped build a concrete establishment for Ampers& House. We are driven by the endless thirst for creation, and whatever idea we encompass, we hold this burning torch for the sake of bringing original ideas to life.

"The collaboration with Ampers& house was a success. Lego was an attentive listener and understood our vision precisely."
Client's testimonial
The collaboration with Ampers& house was a success. We are a music group, and Lego developed the concept for our website and executed it down to the last detail. It was an advantage that he was already familiar with our work, but it was evident that he had also done a lot of homework. He was an attentive listener and understood our vision precisely. Communication was easy, and I appreciate his patience—even when we had creatively different views on a few things, he did not hesitate to revise the idea multiple times until we were satisfied.
Lego was also helpful after the project's completion, and we received an answer to every question. A year and a half after launching the website, I must say that we are receiving more offers, which is undoubtedly significantly attributed to Ampers& house's work. I would approach them again in the future.

"They thoroughly interviewed me at the beginning to better understand me and my work, which allowed the website to be a true reflection of myself."
Client's testimonial
When I approached Lego and Barbora for a collaboration, I had no idea that the result would be so beautiful. I really appreciate their individual approach—they thoroughly interviewed me at the beginning to better understand me and my work, which allowed the website to be a true reflection of myself. Their perfectionism ensured that the site had beautiful details, making visitors feel comfortable and not wanting to leave. On the contrary, they gladly keep coming back.

Flexibility is Barbora's strong suit, and she has always met agreed deadlines, so I am happy to recommend her further.
Client's testimonial
Collaboration with Barbora Solařová began a few years ago when I asked her for some small graphics, and it evolved into a complete range of projects from small items and posters to entire brochures. Our communication takes place online, mostly during the night, which suits my work schedule and apparently also Barbora's, as she finds this time ideal for uninterrupted creativity and production. Flexibility is Barbora's strong suit, and she has always met agreed deadlines, so I am happy to recommend her further.
A major advantage of working with Barbora is her ability to intuitively create visually pleasing works even with vague instructions. She pays great attention to detail, achieving results that often exceed the original idea.

"Barbora is an artist behind a camera. Plus, I still do not understand how she can edit photos so quickly."
Client's testimonial
Barbora is a professional, but with a soul. She will make you feel you're a top model, or that you are not being photographed at all, if that is what the situation needs. I collaborated with her multiple times on different projects and I was always completely satisfied with what she provided. She is an artist behind a camera.Plus, I still do not understand how she can edit photos so quickly.
Lucie & Espen Berg Vien
Wedding couple
We are very satisfied with the photos from our small wedding, which were captured by Barbora.
Client's testimonial
We are very satisfied with the photos from our small wedding, which were captured by Barbora. We have a lot of beautiful moments that we will remember through her photographs. During the wedding, the photos were taken in such a way that the photographer did not disturb the course of the ceremony and, on the contrary, took pictures of moments that we haven't noticed ourselves. We are very grateful and recommend Barbora.

"I took away photos that were not only beautiful, but also natural and authentic. Barbora really is a photo-witch."
Client's testimonial
I worked with Barbora on several sessions, and from each one I took away photos that were not only beautiful, but also natural and authentic. Even though posing in front of the lens is not at all natural to me, I felt very relaxed during the photoshoots. Barborka is very sensitive and she always captured the true emotion and essence of a person or an event. Barbora really is a "photo-witch".
