Every life has its own path,
colors and a unique fingerprint.
I believe that the last farewell can be a thank you for the life we were able to share. The coffin can be painted with flowers, landscapes, birds, a pet, or an ordinary thing that means the world to the family.
For me, a painted coffin is not an attempt to hide death. It is a way to be less afraid of her, to get closer and to let love, light and memory speak in a difficult moment.

She connects art with the subject of dying.
She brings people, families and worlds together.
Mirka Kosečková is the creator and driving force behind the Hand-painted Coffin project. Through her work, she connects art with dying and death, opening a space for encounters, sharing and conversations that bring people and families closer.
She brings colour, humanity and personal closeness into the final farewell. A hand-painted coffin thus becomes a bridge between life and death, between the person who is leaving and those who remain.
