Renowned artist Helena Kroftová Leisztner is celebrating 35 years of her award-winning art collection – a milestone marked by a special exhibition event called “Colors of Woman”. The event took place at the luxurious Augustine Hotel in Prague.
The “Colors of Woman” exhibition was held under the auspices of the Municipality of the Capital City of Prague and the Prague 1 district under the leadership of the Mayor of Prague 1, Mrs. Terezie Radoměřská.
It was attended by approximately 160 VIP guests, including dignitaries, celebrities, and public figures from the spheres of diplomacy, politics, culture, and fashion, adding a layer of prestige to this unique celebration.
Helena Leisztner, an important painter, photographer, and clothing designer, is known for her unique fusion of artistic expressions. Her multimedia Art & Fashion shows appeal to audiences not only in the Czech Republic but also in the international scene. Ms. Leisztner’s motto, “Intuition is a goddess for all of us,” resonates throughout her work and seminars.
Ms. Leisztner’s artistic journey was strongly influenced by her travels – in her works, we can find cultural elements from Spain, Latin America, and Thailand. This exhibition presents her techniques – with an emphasis on lines emanating from the center, symbolizing infinity and harmonious energy – and explores the sensual and emotional aspects of the female body.
One of the highlights of Ms. Leisztner’s career was her participation in the International Exhibition of Modern Art in Paris, at La Coupole, with “Eden”, a magical 3D effect painting, accompanied by her poetry.
In addition to her artistic activities, Ms. Leisztner is actively involved in charitable activities. As a founding member and president of the Czech Association of Friends of the National Women’s Museum of Art in Washington, she supports various foundation projects, including young and disabled artists.
The Augustine Hotel hosting the event is a historical gem and a work of art in itself, combining elegance and modern luxury. This 13th century former monastery hotel provides a choice backdrop for cultural events and exhibitions, making it the perfect location for this exhibition.
