dissertation work was: Preparation of industrial waste for the purpose of preparing
pigments and their use in restoration techniques. The result of this work and research
culminated in a new pigment. Černotová was awarded a patent for this creation.
In her practice Černotová primarily works with painting. On canvas she is experimenting
with a mix of techniques. Cernotova has a BFA in conservation and renovation of
wallpainting and sgraffito from the University of Pardubice in Litomysli. Her technical
knowledge allows her freedom in research of materials. She consciously causes accidents
on canvas. The results are very thin layers of bright and intensive colors. She often works
with her hands on the canvas.

series of works are titled Čujky.
