The 2024 Year of Czech Music abroad will be accompanied by the Tititi painted wooden figure by Tereza Talichová

Coming from a family of musicians, it was Smetana's Libuše that inspired Tereza Talichová to create this special wooden figure. She has recreated the fanfare motif from the opera combining a playful approach and attention to detail.

The designer draws her ideas from her surroundings. As a city person with a cultural background, she is passionate about visual arts and music. From an artistic point of view, Tereza Talichová gets inspiration from the work of Minka Podhajská (1881-1963) and the Artěl artists. At the beginning of the 20th century, Artěl was at the birth of the reform movement of new toys which introduced artistic features to artisanal toy production.
