Michaela Durisova is a fine art photographer, and a designer of floral accessories and decorations. Her work mirrors certain images of her life, which she inserts as fragments from different periods.

When creating new designs of accessories and taking photos, she likes to improvise and prepares only main concepts, thus considering her own work as an aestheticization of her own feelings and life.
