ArtsArtist, mother and teacher – the three lives of painter Tereza Límanová
Born and raised in Prague, Tereza Límanová captures the city in an
unusual way in her paintings. She paints mostly landscapes, but in an
abstract and reduced style that may well stem from what she describes as an
almost obsessive fear of kitsch. Her latest exhibition “From Colors to
Whiteness: From Jinonice to Košíře” is currently on display at Prague
5’s town hall gallery and closes Friday. It focuses on the unusual sights
and landscapes of Prague 5, a mostly residential neighborhood far from the
golden steeples that most visitors of the Czech capital come to see. During
a recent interview at the gallery, Tereza explained how she discovered her

For the tenth year in a row, a small workshop in the Prague neighbourhood
of Vršovice is hosting a group of students from the US, India, Australia

marionettes. The man who runs the courses and who teaches his international
students everything they need to know about puppets is Miroslav Trejtnar,
