Alena Matějka is a Czech glass artist known for her imaginative and often surreal sculptures that blend glass with other materials like stone and metal. Her work frequently explores themes of mythology, dream imagery, and the human form, and she often creates pieces that seem to tell stories or evoke mysterious, otherworldly atmospheres. Mg.A. Alena Matějka Ph.D. was born in 1966 in Jindřichův Hradec.
