Academically-trained sculptor Barbora Blahutová studied sculpture at the Academy of Fine Arts in Prague. A study exchange at the Accademia di Belle Arti di Brera in Milan provided her with an inside look at the world of contemporary art. This Italian experience inspired her to create sculptures and reliefs of pure form, in which a hinted-at but still undefined concept is combined with pop art, op art and arte povera. In her works, Blahutová subtly underscores the fleeting nature of our planet as a warning against its possible depletion by today's consumerist lifestyle.

Lenka Březinová, a graduate of Karlovy Vary's Secondary School of Ceramics, has been making art since 1992. Her dreamlike, subtle, and fragile networks of lines give the viewer a sense of balance and harmony, a sense that the artist lives and works far from the “madding crowd” so that it cannot influence her vision and disturb her subtleness.

Academic sculptor František Svátek originally studied nuclear technology in Prague, but then attended the stonemason's school in Hořice and the Academy of Fine Arts in Prague. Between 1974 and 1997, he alternated between living in Germany, Switzerland, and Italy. He hase lived and worked in the Czech Republic since his return in 1997.
Svátek designs kinetic water sculptures from stone, made primarily from marble but also with the use of metal and glass. Besides moving sculptures, he also designs and creates wind-powered objects.
