BIOGRAPHY

Katia Jirasova was born in Lima, Peru with Czech, Italian and Peruvian grandparents. She attended a British high-school and later graduated with different degrees in American universities where she had contact with a variety of cultures. Here is when she learned to be a CITIZEN of the WORLD. Part of her life is using art to communicate a genuine LOVE and RESPECT for every member of humanity, independent from their race, religion, beliefs and lifestyles.

"My only fear is the closed mindedness and disrespect by unenlightened beings towards the incomprehensible"
