Theodor Tezhik, the artist who gave us the unforgettable “pepelats” from movie Kin-dza-dza!, now lives alone in an abandoned granary outside Prague. Once a place of inspiration, it has become a struggle: in winter it is unbearably cold, there is no proper heating, no comfort. Recently, Theodor suffered a stroke. He is elderly, frail, and cannot cope on his own.

And yet — his spirit is unbroken. He still dreams of creating, painting, and sharing his art. But without our help, this winter may become unbearable for him.

Even a small donation can make a difference: a heater, medicine, or simply food on his table. If each of us contributes what we can, together we can give Theodor not only warmth and dignity, but also the chance to keep inspiring the world with his art.

Please join us. Let us not leave this remarkable artist alone in his time of need.

Donate through ProArt Foundation — all funds go directly to Theodor’s care and his studio-home.
