Jana Peterková drawings are based on observations of the movements of bodies at a meeting of people who have built themselves a constellation of their families.

Jana Peterková (* 1966) studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in Prague with Miloš Šejn with annual transfers into the studio Vladimír Kokolia and Milan Knížák. Her work describes the gradual path of self-transformation. Insights and experience that there can be obtained, are also within the psychological process. Its main theme is to explore the physical, energetic body in relation to space landscape and space infinity. Peterková also contributed to the costumes for foreign film productions including the American film Marie Antoinette, winning an Oscar for the costumes.
