Zuzana Studena Oil Paintings
I am deeply inspired by nature
I wish people can find relaxation with my paintings
my work promotes calm and peace, elevating the mind to a higher vibration.
TRAVELLING THE WORLD
SHARING IN THE BEAUTY
My most sincere motivation is to bring people moments of that calm in which we can hear the inner call of Nature.
A wisdom that can not be expressed by words.
Born in the Czech Republic I always wanted to see the world .
In my travels I exhibited in Nepal, Belgium, Czech Republic, California, France and in Ireland.
I had the chance to visit these beautiful places and they have inspired me to recreate this magic in paintings for others.
Not being tied to the still image, animation has also given me freedom to explore the art of movement.
Below are the most important projects of animation that I have been involved with over the years.

Here is a few of my 87 sequences
that I made for the movie:
Collaboration with Daniel Sykora
professor at the Czech Technical University in Prague of the Department of Computer Graphics and Interaction
who worked for Adobe and still works for Google
I worked with Daniel Sykora at the Technical Univerity of Prague for a few years starting in 2017. He and his team were invited to Siggrapph conference several times and I had the chance to be part of that amazing team with my artistic input and I visited the conference in LA and Vancouver with them.
In this video he demonstrates practical utility in various interactive scenarios, where the user paints over a selected key frame and sees their style transferred to an existing recorded sequence or a live video stream.
His paper received Best in Show in a two-way tie
at SIGGRAPH 2020.
