Kristýna Šestáková

I’m Kristýna, an Aquarius with an artistic soul since childhood. I was born in Brandýs nad Labem, and after several years of travel, during which I was searching for myself and gathering inspiration, I’ve returned to Prague, where I now have my studio.

As a child, I attended various pottery and art classes. Later, I studied at an art school and continued with packaging design at a higher professional school. However, halfway through, I felt the study no longer made sense, so I decided to leave it behind and travel abroad. To this day, travel has had a profound influence not only on my work.

On my canvases, I capture both the everyday simplicity where I find joy and the deeper inner experiences. My paintings reflect my internal perception of the world, inspired by different life situations, interactions with people, nature, music, and art that surrounds me. 

I am also deeply inspired by the spontaneity and playfulness of children. In my paintings, you’ll find vibrancy, hope, and joy for life. I believe art has the power to leave lasting emotions in people and guide them through their own life situations.

Recently, my work has been featured in galleries in Rome, Salzburg, Prague, and Dublin.

My paintings are part of private collections in the Czech Republic, Germany, the Netherlands, Ireland, England, and the USA.

Besides painting, I’m passionate about bringing life into homes and designing spaces that combine harmony, aesthetic sense, and practicality. That’s why I’ve been dedicating more and more time recently to space design.

Currently, you can see some of my paintings, including an abstract wall mural of 18m², at the Casa Moderna interior design studio.
