Opera singer, mezzo-soprano, named her potty "Sunflowers".

Where did you look for the inspiration and how did the creation itself go? I looked at the Sunflowers painting by Vincent Van Gogh…. At that moment, I could not imagine a better inspiration than that. I consider myself quite dexterous, so I finished painting the potty in approximately 2 hours.

How high would you like the actual bid for your potty to be at the auction? I really do not know….. but I do hope that the Van Gogh fans will not disappoint….. In fact, they can put the potty under the actual Sunflowers painting and create a beautiful scenery that way. 

Do you know the Museum of Hygiene, which besides being the largest one in the world is now regularly involved in various charity events? I have to admit that until creating this piece for your museum I had no idea about its existence. But I find it amazing that there is always something new to discover, and that your museum charitably supports this project.

Do you know the ´Premature babies and their families´ endowment fund, to which the proceeds from the auctioned pots will be donated? Yeah, I know it. Mainly thanks to the two charming ladies; Mrs. Hana Píšová and Markéta Stránská. Their personal commitment is admirable.

Have you ever encountered this problem in your life? Unfortunately yes.
