The work 17 November was created in 2014 and is also part of the art collection of the Orava Gallery in Dolný Kubín. The archival print is published in a limited edition, printed on cotton paper. It points out that freedom is not a given and that its celebration is worth remembering every year. November 17 is national holiday in the Czech Republic and in Slovakia and commemorates Fight for Freedom and Democracy.

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.

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 paper and cardboard 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 viewer is more used to the author's large-format canvases but in this series, Patrícia Koyšová presents paintings and prints on paper in smaller formats. Here, the paper reveals itself in its naked form. Paintings on paper are not preparatory sketches. They are independent originals, they capture the processes and topics on which the author works during individual series. The theme is not only the painting itself but also small story hidden in the work.

The artwork features stylized butterfly wings in a delicate structure that reflects its fragility. Fluorescent orange evokes joy, life and energy. Each linoprint is hand-printed by the author on recycled paper due to which there are slight differences between individual pieces. The graphic is signed and numbered. The graphic is limited to 50 pieces.
