She continued her studies in Florence, Italy, where she advanced specializing in figurative sculpture. Denisa lives and works in Ottawa as an Independent Fine Artist and is an Executive Member of the National Capital Network of Sculptors in Ottawa. Denisa specializes in the creation of large relief sculptures combining classical and contemporary techniques. Large and imposing while light and ethereal, Denisa's art is intended to be spiritually healing and powerful in its symbolic intension. Using clay as the canvas on which she communicates, the artist offers us imagery that is vibrant with mystical and historical elements. She puts forward an iconography that is timeless and strongly feminine, while rich in technique and intention. Through her work, she offers a very personal look into the necessity to contrast past with present, personal with universal, reality with dream state. Website: http://www.denisaprochazka.com/
