František Bilek (January 6, 1872 Chýnov - October 13, 1941, Chýnov) was a famous Czech Art Nouveau Symbolist sculptor and architect. His works often reflect Biblical themes or have religious connotations.
He attended Akademie výtvarných umění (AVU) in Prague. Due to his appeared colour-blindness he moved to Josef Mauder one year later (1888) and started to study sculpture. Given to scholarship offered by patron Vojtěch Lann, he spent one year in Paris at Académie Calarossi. Since that he lived in turns in Prague and in Chýnov. He built his own villa in Hradčany.
