Knitted Frida Kahlo

There are a lot of wonderful art pieces that you can find in the streets. However, there are also a lot of boring sculptures and Prague is not an exception,

The fairly mundane bronze sculpture Rebirth (such a fitting name!) that can be found close to the National Theater has a new knitted look. Recently, it was made into a Mexican painter Frida Kahlo and will stay like that for a whole year. Of course, her favorite monkey and Tehuana costume need to be included. In fact, the statue was reborn for the third time already. It was once made into a Gustav Klimt’s Women in The Gold, another time into Marilyn Monroe from the famous scene from The Seven Year Itch. Frida Kahlo is its third masquerade.

Knitting camouflage has quickly become a tourist attraction. Come to see :-)

Knitted Frida Kahlo

I' I m a scenographer and live in Prague. I love street art. My artistic journey is, among other things, the transformation of existing boring sculptures into knitting art icons. When finishing knitting sculptures, a lot of people are interested in the streets. People stop and talk together. I also deal with designs of costumes and puppets. As an architect, I'm preparing TV shows for children. I graduated in scenography at the Theater Academy in Prague.
