Jana Lamserová was born in 1938, in the vibrant town of Mladá Boleslav, nestled in the heart of central Bohemia. She pursued her passions for both creative arts and mathematics at the prestigious Charles University School of Education in Prague, where she studied from 1958 to 1962 under the tutelage of some of the most eminent Czech artists of her time. Cyril Bouda, Karel Lidický, Martin Salcman, and Zdeněk Sýkora all played a pivotal role in shaping Lamserová’s artistic vision during this period.

From 1962 to 1966, Lamserová continued her studies as a postgraduate, receiving private lessons from František Muzika, a towering figure in Czech modern painting and graphics. The knowledge she gained from her esteemed mentors helped her to develop a unique artistic style that would be celebrated for years to come.

Over the course of her career, Lamserová held nine solo exhibitions and participated in numerous group exhibitions. Initially, her creative work focused on portraits and illustrations for books. However, in the 1980s, she was primarily involved in applied graphic arts for industrial production. In later years, she turned her attention to art for art’s sake, blending both abstraction and realism into her work. Lamserová’s pieces often featured realistic drawing, with an oblong shape serving as a symbol of the window, providing a literal and metaphorical insight into the landscape of the soul.

Lamserová’s artworks invite viewers to employ their own imagination, empathy, dreams, feelings, and desires when contemplating her art. She also worked on book illustrations, covers, design, and graphic arrangements for various publications. In addition to her career as an artist, Lamserová served for three decades as a lecturer and researcher at Charles University in the area of Arts Pedagogy. Her contributions to the world of art and education have left an indelible mark on the Czech cultural landscape.
