Famous for the whole world, the sculptor from Catalonia, Rosa Serra, brought to Bratislava a large and diverse exposition of her best works. Having graduated from the Academy of Luis Carbonello in arts and painting, she continued her studies in the class of ceramics and engraving.

A small fragile woman creates works of amazing power. The ability to convey the beauty of the human body, to express the movements of the athlete, to convey the feelings of a person in the stone - all this attracts and captivates the audience.

In 2008, the Catalonia Administration for outstanding service to the country awarded her the highest decoration for the Catalonians - the Cross of St. George.
The amazing combination of expressive paintings and powerful sculpture, beautiful exhibition halls and professional layout of the exposition created a magical atmosphere of mutual understanding between cultures of different countries, between authors and spectators.
The opening of the exhibition was accompanied by the presentation of elite Austrian wines of the famous brand "Just" from the city of Rust. There also was a buffet table.
A special atmosphere in the exhibition halls was created by the performance of a Slovak singer with popular modern melodies.
