Ivana Šrámková first studied at the Glassmaking Professional Secondary School in Železný Brod, then in prof. Libenský’s studio at the AAAD in Prague, graduating in 1987. The author belongs to the postmodern generation of glassmakers that emerged around 1990. Their works showed a tendency towards experimentation, irony, and a strong individual style. Ivana Šrámková primarily painted on glass, often in combination with glass blowing and other techniques. She later started to use fused sculptures, which she rid of their officiality. She playfully modeled simple, sometimes ordinary themes with humor. She often created stylized human or animal figures.
Ivana Šrámková created a series of monumental figures around the year 2005. Their uniqueness consists in reducing the figures to simple archetypal motifs, but keeping them identifiable. Subtle humor, monumentality, and playfulness come together in the figures.
