My name is Michala Jirousková, I am from Prague, and this is my story.

My life so far could be summarized into 5 chapters. The first chapter was dominated by dance. In childhood disco dance, later hip hop, and street dance. Practices, competitions, performances, and then practices again. The second chapter belongs to dogs. They became a part of my life through my beloved Labradors, Sara and Berta, later Aby, and currently Max. From training sessions, dog shows, hunting trials, training camps to finally studing Cynology at the Czech University of Life Sciences in Prague. The third chapter I would dedicate to my career in the field of finance. Let's say my first job continues to this day. I started as a temporary employee in a corporate company, where I have held various positions over the years. I spent 2,5 years working on projects in Bratislava, Slovakia, and after returning to Prague, I continued as Head of Accounting Department until chapter 4 came along. Motherhood and family. Currently I am on maternity leave. I have two wonderful and beautiful children, a loving and patient partner, and a forever-hungry, adoring foxred Labrador, Max. And now we finally arrive at chapter 5, PAINTING. I devoted my entire high school years to painting; I stuied a specialization in promotional graphics. Even back then, I tried various painting techniques, but I did not pursue it outside of school. I returned to painting during my maternity leave. I needed to relax and release all the accumulated emotions. I paint with acrylics, intuitively creates abstract images. I enjoy textures and golden reflections. A painting must breathe radiate something. If it does not speak to me, I repaint it. My paintings are emotions, life, and reflection of myself. I appreciate every comment and opinion; it pushes me forward. Thank you.
