She is one of the best!!! Kveta Pacovska was born in 1928 in Prague, where she still lives and works. She began her career as an illustrator in the fifties, specializing in object books, three-dimensional tactile works and illustrations of children’s stories. Her works include bizarre collages, mirrors and superimpositions of different kinds of paper, cut-outs capable of generating ever new characters and stories. Her illustrations are immediately recognisable for the use of bold, saturated colours without nuances, a dense style and almost childlike use of lines. Her passion for geometric and abstract shapes reflects in her stories, she won the Hans Christian Andersen Award in 1992. She is amazing!
