Original drawing by illustrator Simona Smatana. Simona mainly focuses on book creation and, in addition to drawing, she also writes her own stories. Her children's picture books are characterized by deeper references and educational character and they have been awarded several times both at home and abroad. The main characters of the books continue to live their lives in the drawings where they often all together meet on a picnic, a hike or during other ordinary activities. The originals are drawn with crayons, numbered and signed.

Archival print of an original work by Slávka Ondrušová which is part of her long-term project in which she creates a collection of drawing sketchbooks. Hundreds of subtle drawings were created as daily introspective records which document the individual experience and the need to record a specific period in which current regulations, isolation and absence of social interaction (covid era) affected inner psychological experience, focus and attention of the author, and also changed the view of priorities, values and perception of relationships.

Original work on canvas by painter Dominika Žáková.

The Areolis Germinis series is a natural response to a author's longer-lasting project/research which included the creation of a collection of paintings and lectures on the topic of colour theory. Completion of this project and final "release" from deep concentration and observance of certain rules of research resulted in a relaxed experimental position of the author's work. The Latin name Areolis germinis(trans. germination) becomes a direct metaphor for new variations and new ways of finding self-expression that the author brings to the audience.

It's good to find yourself and your pack again. To pour the truth into your eyes and be really here and now. Both head and body immersed in the present. Together.

I bathed my soul in cinnamon tea. Cigarette smoke. I was gently fanned by the salty breeze on the shore of something. The horizon stretched in the distance. I now sit on it like a horse and drink the memory. No photos remained, only places, breeze and stones. The feeling of my old body that will be forever young. I water my soul with cinnamon tea.

The Autumnist series is a free continuation of the Fallen Petals series. It was created from drawings of pressed flower petals that the author found in the Netherlands during her internship. She put them in a notebook and forgot about them. After a long time, she found them and as a reminder of the memories of the time spent abroad, she turned them into a series of graphics.

The Autumnist series is more focused on the shape of the individual petals and the combination of 2 or 3 colours. The name comes from autumn, which for Lívia is mostly defined by the changing colours of the leaves on the trees and their falling (and feelings of nostalgia). The graphics are printed with a risograph which uses natural pigments made from rice. Their special feature is the changing colour during pressing. The author tries different colour combinations which are transformed in various ways in the end, just like the leaves in autumn.

The series of works on canvas presents abstract works, records in which relaxed acrylic painting and mainly oil pastel drawing prevail. One can read a subtle reflection of the reality of nature in them. A strong inspiration is the landscape, mountains, motifs of gardens, flowers, birds, fish, sea life, minerals. Drawings-paintings are supposed to create a light and ephemeral impression of a captured moment – such as the Impressionists did in the past. The records are fast, layered and a result of combination of different painting techniques. For some, paste paint or metallic paint was also used, but mainly a high-quality background in the form of paper or canvas.

The limited edition has a little bent corner and is therefore sold at a 10% discount.

Martina's pictures are always filled with emaciated figures in a geometric and flattened environment. They carry elements and the aesthetics of modernist furniture and design of American motels from the 1970s. The Cyclists series captures this theme in several situations in the author's typical colours. The graphic is limited to an edition of 100 pieces, signed and numbered."
