Biography
His wooden sculptures draw ideas from the rural environment. Kompánek also creates the concept of "protective deities," symbols that appear in his works. A frequent motif he uses is a woman field characters and carnival masks. He is also a maker of wooden toys. In 1972, he was registered as an agent of the SBU number 13 293 under the code name Sochar.
