Biography

Jindřich Severa was a Czech painter and sculptor, and a lecturer at the Faculty of Architecture and Decorative Arts. Severa produced the relief portrait of A.B. Svojsíka on the memorial at Štěchovice. He also designed some coins and medals for the Czech authorities.

Severa also designed a wooden crucifix and presented it to Coventry in 1968. He carved it during World War II, using a typical Slovak peasant style. His Czech Cross left Czechoslovakia just a few weeks before the Russian troops entered the country in the summer of 1968.
