So the smooth wouldn't hurt.

to physically morph and adjust before bed.

Far too reminiscent of the unknown

The ambiguity of a piranha

Colourfully colourless

Barely suffering

Intrusively ceasing

The feeling after a butterfly

The cold, caused by the noise from which it emerged

Entirely unaccepted by the translucency

Fragmentation of a memory

In the unrefineness of the present

The morphology of plankton

Her final paintings are abstract, but they always evoke images of mysterious creatures, organisms or specific objects. Ambiguity is an inseparable element of her work and pertains also to her approach of the area and space selected. Her paintings possess exquisite appeal, original colours, as well as charming and surprising structure. She is studying at the Academy of Fine Arts in Prague in the studio of Tomáš Vaněk.
