Jiri Borsky was born in Dobrany, Czech Republic 1945. He came to England in 1968 and worked as a draughtsman at Wedgwood. He married in 1972 and settled in the Potteries, becoming a British citizen in 1975. He studied painting at Staffordshire where, as a mature student, he was taught by Arthur Berry. He graduated from there with a BA(Hons) degree in 1979.

Since then he has been a professional full time artist. He is represented in several public and corporate collections plus numerous private collections in Britain and abroad. His preferred medium is acrylic as this supports his technique of working textures into the painted image, giving his work a satisfying tactile quality. His passionate love of music is often reflected in his paintings (some of his images have been used by the music industry on CD covers). The symbolic intertwining of two lovers is also a recurring image.
