Be creative with Markéta Zlesáková

The Be Creative with... cycle, organised by the Nisa Factory gallery, continues with a presentation of the work of painter and teacher Markéta Zlesáková. As part of a specially curated afternoon programme, she will present her sources of inspiration and techniques and guide us through her intellectual and artistic world. The programme is intended for all lovers of not only decor but also the latest artistic creations.

She works with techniques such as screen printing, oil on canvas and watercolour. Her work is characterised by distinctive and dense vegetation that draws the viewer into the centre of the painting, where they are surrounded by a jungle. The timeline of inspiration can be traced from the rural foothills of Northern Bohemia through Thailand and Morocco to the rainforest of Borneo, all connected by an important element – the artist's memory.

She does not only focus on paintings with natural themes, but also designs geometric decorations for textiles, ceramic tiles and graphics. Her work continues to straddle the boundary between fine art and applied textile art.
