Ema Chorá (b. 1994, Olomouc) studied glass design at the Secondary School of Applied Arts for Glassmaking in Valašské Meziříčí and painting under František Kowolowski at the Faculty of Fine Arts of the University of Ostrava. In recent years, alongside painting, she has also been working with objects, primarily using natural materials such as stone and wood.
Her work draws on symbols inspired by sacred art, stripping their meaning of traditional religious interpretation and relating it to nature, material, and archetypal experience. She finds inspiration on her travels, bringing back symbols and materials that become part of her objects. When working with stone and wood, she uses traditional sculptural techniques, combining them with a contemporary visual language.
