Jitka Kolínská's magical realism acted as a revelation at the exhibitions of the May 57 group. One of the paintings contained a quote from Shakespeare, which made her notice by censorship. Several painting groups in Germany initially sought it. Sophisticated styling and the color palette used to create tension and at the same time look extremely tender and poetic. Jitka Kolínská also devoted herself to illustrations of books for the youngest. It is her ability to project emotions into images and illustrations through symbols and visual poetry that is characteristic of her works.
