"Do You remember the beautiful, metallic painting by April POPKO auctioned in 2018 as well as last year's glowing, blue sailboat? Well this year she is donating another original piece of artwork and )it is from her brand new art series titled, "Angel Wings". This new art piece is from her latest collection, soon-displayed in the Zizkov Tower / Tower Park Praha from December 2019 to the end of January 2020. Dozens of other original pieces, from different art series are currently exhibited in the Zizkov Tower, as well as in Mala Strana (at the US Embassy), in Karlin (at Confess Research), in Nove Mesto (at Animadecor Boutique) and in Andel (at Smille Clinic) as well as abroad. Popko enjoys that her artwork can be used for charities and good causes ." - CANZA
Note from the artist:
"I love to support groups that mean something special to me. Living abroad (for the first time) landed me in Brisbane, Australia in 1998. I got the travel bug ever since! It was one of the most educational, adventurous and wonderful times in my life. For a season, I studied at the University of Queensland and spent as much time as possible traveling around “Oz”, surfing on the Gold Coast, SCUBA diving in the Great Barrier Reef, trekking the rain forests, observing amazing animals in the national parks such as Kakadu, Daintree, Cradle Mountain, Uluru (the outback), and Freycinet (Tasmania) among many others. While “down under” I was fortunate to also spend time exploring New Zealand. There, I loved the underground honeycomb caving, skydiving above Lake Taupo, experiencing hot geysers, as well as mixing with the kiwis and learning about Maori culture in Rotorua. It was incredible! Needless to say, this unique experience will always be close to my heart and will lend me time for fun stories to tell forever. I support CANZA’s goal in uniting the Australian and New Zealand communities, here in Prague, as well as giving to children and families in need at SKP HOPO. It is my absolute pleasure to help the efforts of www.skphopo.cz and I wish you a beautiful evening!
I have hundreds of paintings for sale in my studio and around Prague. I invite you to come have a look! There is something for everyone. COMMISSIONS WELCOME—I would be happy to create something special for you. Meetings with me are by appointment in my Prague 5 (Reporyje) Studio. Please have a look at my website for more exhibitions and charity work. I hope you will feel inspired!" - April Popko
