Bára Prášilová is a Prague-based artist, known for her surreal photographs. Her images can be described as a balance between beauty, weirdness, reality and fiction, giving a sense of absurdity.

In her pictures, Prášilová creates memories from her imagination, things that never really occurred. She also imagines what might have happened if we didn't limit ourselves.

The artist has garnered numerous awards and has showcased her captivating work in exhibitions both within the Czech Republic and on the global stage.

Prášilová supports alternative theories that explain how certain visions form in our minds. These theories suggest that it's a combination of our subconscious thoughts and the way our brains process them. She's open to believing in things that seem impossible, which lets her explore her mind without limits.

On the other hand, the artist prefers to be careful and plan everything in advance. Before starting any creative work, she carefully outlines all her ideas. This approach is quite challenging because it requires Prášilová to stay calm and stay on track. But the moments when she comes up with new ideas are the most enjoyable ones because that's when she begins to create her imaginative worlds.

    When these photos make the hairs on my arms and neck literally stand up, just like very certain songs do, I feel as if that is one of the biggest compliments I can give. No need to describe how they make me feel in words... My body's reaction says it all. 🖤

    In Prášilová's photographs, it is often the hair that attracts the viewer's attention. The artist doesn't hide the fact that it makes her feel uncanny working with "dead hair". "But I think it's important to be able to work with things that make me uncomfortable," she says. "Hair is memory; it stores a lot of information. There is great symbolism in it."

    The artist has long maintained a strong work ethic: she doesn't photograph for pharmaceutical companies because she doesn't believe their intentions are always good. Prášilová also turns down offers from alcohol companies and she would not enter into a contract with any political party.

    Recently, Prášilová has started creating short videos based on her photos and giving them a new dimension. "I'm here to create images so that they can be seen by as many people as possible and reach those who want to see them. I was born with talent - I'm grateful for it, so I use it."

    This one is stressing me out, although I'm thinking that's the point. It's a beautiful work, nevertheless.
