Jaromír Vondra (born May 7, 1998, in Prague) is a Czech painter and writer. He initially focused on drawing, but over time he moved away from it and gradually turned to painting, seeing it as offering greater scope for in-depth work with color and personal expression.

At the end of 2020, his first book, The Lotus Pendulum, was published, combining elements of a historical novel and a detective thriller. After completing his university studies, his first solo exhibition of paintings took place from July 1 to August 30, 2022, in Vysočany, Prague. On June 5, 2023, his second book, ANIMA (Latin for "Soul"), was released. Vondra described it as a pivotal work for himself, as he sought to convey in it the essence of his connection to a piece of art with which he first learned to work in painting, showing it in entirely new contexts. This personal contrast embedded in the book was a key step that helped him develop his own artistic expression. The style he cultivated was later presented at his painting exhibition in June 2025 at the Gallery Pod Věží in Mladá Boleslav.

In both his books and paintings, he conveys the atmosphere experienced by the human mind in various situations and events—an atmosphere reflecting what it truly means to be alive.
