"The project "Rainbow People" is a collection of 130 photographs of people from different parts of the Earth, which I would like to dedicate to all doctors, physiotherapists, occupational therapists, masseurs, nurses and orderlies as a thank you. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for making it possible for me to experience this," said Mrs. Barnatová at the opening of the exhibition.
"I first came to you in the spring of 2014 with problematic mobility, you expertly identified the probable cause and got me the treatment I needed in time thanks to you. Although my private life was turned upside down at that time and although my disease continues to progress, you gave me three years of a full life and I never missed a day. I love coming back to you and I feel good in your kind care," sums up Mrs. Barnatová's relationship with the staff of RN Beroun.
"Mrs. Jana Barnatová has been hospitalized at the Rehabilitation Center several times. She has always been very satisfied with the treatment and the attitude of all the staff. That is why she approached us with the idea of organizing an exhibition of her photographs as a thank you to the entire staff," says Lucie Lefnerová, head physiotherapist at the Beroun rehabilitation centre.
Mrs. Barnatová admits that travel and photography have become her life's passion. "I like to take pictures. Above all, I like taking pictures of people. And most of all I like to take pictures of happy people. Strangely enough, the happiest faces I have met are in Mustang, a poor, forgotten kingdom in Nepal... There are really wonderful and happy people living there. Another such place is Madagascar. I have photographed equally smiling faces in Bangkok, northern Thailand and southern Laos. On these three trips I took most of the faces on display. The point of this exhibition is to make you notice how beautiful and diverse people are, how poverty can be deep yet insignificant, and to make you smile when someone takes your picture," the artist said.
