In her work, the smallest mundane detail explodes into a universe of lines - serene dreamscapes of texture and fantasy thirsty for the deepest content of the viewer’s own psyche.
Helesicova, born in the heart of Europe–the sunny South Moravian Region of Czech Republic–has always been driven to create. She spent her youth drawing architectural renderings of vast Utopian cityscapes. Art school introduced her to sculpture, visual merchandising, drafting, graphic and interior design. She cut her professional teeth with an advertising agency at the age of 14.
A move to the United States at the end of the last century brought her into a new world of Visual Expression.
