About the Folk Artist
Kamila Zvědělíková, a folk artist, comes from a village called Prušánky, located in the Hodonín District in the South Moravian Region of the Czech Republic. The heritage of the region is reflected in her ornament composition. For six years, she has been painting ornaments. A year ago, she started creating and making bows and scarves for national costumes for the public. Thanks to her study of art, she tries to artistically evolve the ornaments and transform them into unusual shapes, such as cats, in order to spark interest from everyone, including children.
