Hello, my name is Nikola Vanová, and I'm thrilled to work with Czech and Slovak artists to breathe new dimensions into art by enhancing its beauty with added practical benefits.
I believe that art, thanks to SalArte, will become more of a 'standard' in every home—just like a radiator.
I appreciate any greeting, email, feedback, or review from you.
Please write to me at nikola@salarte.cz. Thank you :)
I also want to thank all the artists for your trust. You have come together as a really wonderful and easygoing group, and it’s a pleasure working with you. Thank you, and I look forward to our journey together!
It all started with cold. As a mother of two, I had trouble heating the kids' room, which was the coldest. The 16m² room had only a small radiator that couldn't heat it sufficiently. Due to large temperature differences and humidity, mold began to form. So, I chose infrared heating, which turned out to be the ideal solution for comfort and operating costs.
However, as an artist, I struggled with the appearance of common infrared panels on the market. So, I decided to combine beauty with practicality—I painted a picture and had it transformed into an infrared panel. The result was great, and both the kids and my husband loved it. Since then, we haven't needed any other heating in the room, as the radiant painting creates a pleasant, even warmth throughout, while also preventing mold.
Later, I thought of collaborating with other Czech and Slovak artists to create a product that was not only functional but also brought joy and a piece of Czechoslovak art into kids' rooms, living rooms, offices, hotels, and stores. The result of this idea is SalArte—a product combining the beauty of artwork with the functionality of radiant heating.
