About Denisa Prochazka: Denisa Prochazka is an award winning artist living in Ottawa, Canada. She is a classically trained figurative sculptor with a passion for portrait sculpture and clay reliefs. She graduated from OCAD University in Toronto and completed her post-graduate studies in Florence, Italy.

Born in the Czech Republic, she grew up playing in her mother’s ceramic studio. Her early childhood experience and love of clay led her back to this medium where she felt a complete freedom of expression through its tactile movement and flexibility, expressing feminine softness and high level of control.

Denisa’s Artist’s Statement: Many of my clay sculptures depict female subjects and feminine forms from my own creative visions, to empower and inspire the feminine balance in this world. The need for creation became reinforced with the birth of my own child and the desire to heal, protect and empower.

My goal is to bring my art forward to public spaces so that passersby can find peace, beauty and healing connection for a moment in time in their life’s journey. I strongly believe in creating healing artwork that has the power to transform people’s lives. Some of my sculptures are created for Women’s Shelters and Auctions to support an Orphanage in Africa.

Interesting Facts about Denisa: Besides creating art, Denisa loves to keep fit by taking belly dancing classes. She is currently an Associate Member of the National Sculpture Society in New York, as well as an Associate Member of the Allied Artists of America, New York, USA.
