The young artist graduated from the Academy of Fine Arts in Prague where she was involved in various media. Although she also works with objects and installations, her oeuvre is mainly anchored in painting. Her paintings often deal with figural subjects but also still-lifes and landscapes. They are characteristic of acrylic blue coating which creates the impression of a light haze. She employs soft pastel colors that underline the almost lyrical visual impressions. In her drawings, Chloupa on the contrary tends towards expressiveness and some of her objects are close to applied design.
