Prague is a place that never truly lets you go.
As Kafka once said, ‘the little mother has claws’ and once you fall in love with this city, you’re bound to it forever. Tom Mairs’ watercolors capture that bond—the misty streets, towering spires, and the soul of a city that both embraces and haunts you. His paintings draw you into the city’s heart, where history merges with everyday life, and every corner seems to whisper a story. Each image captures the raw beauty and quiet magic that make Prague unforgettable, a city that won’t just leave its mark on you, but will make sure you’re always drawn back to it.
A writer of Czech origin, Jaroslav Kalfar emigrated to the United States as a teenager, where he taught himself English. A graduate of New York University with an MFA, he lives in Brooklyn. His first novel, An Astronaut in Bohemia, has been translated into several languages and adapted for film.
Tom Mairs is a watercolor artist and illustrator specializing in architecture and topography. Trained in Canada and Germany, he also works in theater and collaborates on numerous projects in Europe.
