Marie Kotasova Adamkova has always loved nature and literature. Having graduated from the Faculty of Science of Masaryk University in Brno, Czech Republic, she became a zoologist. In her precious moments of free time, when she isn't working on specialist publications, she relaxes by writing children's books.
Barbora Idesova is inspired by nature, the sun, music, meditation, myths and adventures with friends. Her drawings often depict various creatures from her own imaginary mythology. Goddesses, demigods, mythical forest beings with ordinary human qualities. They perform in strangely familiar dreamy scenes full of symbols and decorative elements. Through these creatures, she also tries to create a space to talk about topics that matter to her, like feminism and LGBTQ+ themes.
