Libuše Dlabola Pražáková


(Born 1984) is a painter and sculptor who studied at František Kowolowský at Faculty of Fine Arts and Music of University of Ostrava (2008—2014). In 2012, she participated in a internship programme at Hochschule fur Bildene Kunste, Dresden, Germany, where she studied painting and graphics.

Her artworks have been exhibited both in the Czech Republic and abroad (Krajská galerie Zlín, Jatka 78 Praha, Annenkapelle Görlitz, the European Parliament in Brussels). Her works are represented in public and private collections. She lives and works in Semily and is a mother of two exceptional sons.

In my painting work, I return to the quiet touches of everydayness - the fabric, the color, the fragments that carry the memory. In recent images, I have sewn the remnants of textiles into canvases, personal relics that bear the imprint of a relationship, care, and vulnerability. These are subtle gestures, sometimes barely noticeable but charged with internal tension - like trying to hold on to something that's escaping.

For me, the material becomes both an extension of body and memory - a place where images are not only created with a brush, but also with thread, with the rhythm of hands, with repetition. It's a painting as a form of detention, as a space where you can at least hold something together for a while.
