" Godfather Drosselmeier has told me of a lovely garden where there is a great lake, upon which beautiful swans swim about, with golden collars around their necks, and sing their sweetest songs. Then there comes a little girl out of the garden down along the lake, and coaxes the swans to the shore, and feeds them with sweet cake. "

Recently I was in Alphonse Mucha muzeum. In Prague Czech Republic

He is my favourite artist so I was so exited to see his work in person. It might seem silly but it made me bit emotional.

Especialy after learning about Slav Epic. That he painted it not olny for Czech's but for all Slavs. And that really strucked me. That I could search and find myself in it. That Slavic heritage, legends and myths even tho not so popular are something to be pround of.

That maby the beauty I couldn't find in myself while looking in the mirror is under wraps somwhere.

Because if Mucha could bring out the hidden beauty and put all of his heart in his works. Maby just maby that charm and allure is somwhere inside me.

[ 1928, coloured lithography, 140 x 90 cm] [ his daughter Jaroslava was modeling for that lithography!]

( maby that's why I like it so much haha because it was made with love)

I do recognize Światowid behind the girl, I recognize long braids, flower crown and her gown. I know it all. It's part of me as it is a part of many many other people.

And perhaps you too can find yourself in one of Mucha works or any other artist you like!

Prague was such a beautifull place to visit. I'm so honored and happy that I was able to come💗💖

And I hope Czech's are pround of him too!

Mucha desined one of the stained glass in Saint Vitus Cathedral alongside of other talented artists!

( picture I took of it, Saint Vitus Catedral, Prague Czech Republic)

His art appeared on old money bills too!
