Lucia Hajnikova’s Calla Space: A Living Canvas for Art, Fashion, and Future Visionaries
From mentorship under Jules Wright to founding one of London’s most eclectic creative spaces, Lucia Hajnikova redefines what it means to showcase expression, innovation, and identity in a world that craves authenticity.
Lucia Hajnikova did not stumble into the art world — she dissected it. With a discerning eye and a deep passion for unconventional talent, she discovered a void: a lack of platforms that truly celebrated the rule-breakers, the boundary-pushers, and the visionaries who create not for acceptance, but for impact. That realization gave birth to Calla Space — an ever-evolving creative sanctuary that exists to showcase art in all its raw diversity and emotional intensity.
Inspired and guided by the legendary Jules Wright, Lucia’s early mentorship was shaped by a fearless feminine force who championed depth over decorum. Wright’s influence solidified Lucia’s own philosophy: that art is not a commodity — it’s a language, one meant to challenge, provoke, and connect. This very ethos breathes through the walls of Calla Space.
A Gallery That Grows Like a Garden
Calla Space isn’t just a gallery — it’s a living organism. A conceptual environment where each installation, event, and garment contributes to a larger dialogue. It is a platform for academic inquiry, a space that welcomes experimentation, challenges tradition, and nurtures cultural expression. From curating conceptual exhibitions to hosting bold creative events, the space is in a constant state of motion — evolving with the artists who call it home.
Lucia’s vision is rooted in the natural world: “In every garden, nothing exists in isolation.” Just as ecosystems thrive on connection, Calla Space thrives on collaboration. It’s a garden of expression where art forms interact, merge, and bloom — creating something greater than the sum of their parts.
Where Art Meets Fashion, and Fashion Becomes Art
With the gallery’s relocation to one of London’s most prestigious lifestyle districts, Lucia expands her mission further — to dismantle stereotypes in fashion and champion emerging talent. At Calla Space, fashion is not just wearable — it is conceptual, sculptural, and expressive. Every garment is treated as an art object, and every designer as a true artist.
The gallery invites today’s talents of tomorrow to present their vision without limits. In doing so, it also redefines luxury — no longer dictated by labels, but by meaning, storytelling, and intentional design. Through this fusion, Calla Space bridges creative disciplines and engages audiences who seek depth in their aesthetic experiences.
A Cultural Society of Creatives
Calla Space is not a static gallery. It is a dynamic cultural hub, carefully curated to honor individuality and spark communal joy. Through exhibitions, performances, installations, and designer spotlights, Lucia cultivates an environment that connects people from all walks of life through mutual passion for art and design.
Its interior transforms continuously, mirroring the identities of the artists it hosts and the energies they bring. Every corner invites curiosity. Every event offers inspiration. And every moment spent inside Calla Space contributes to a growing community of creatives, thinkers, and dreamers.
Lucia Hajnikova’s Calla Space is more than a destination — it’s a philosophy. A tribute to the power of collaboration, the beauty of imperfection, and the limitless potential of young voices, Calla Space is where creativity is not just displayed — it is awakened.
Here, expression is sacred. Innovation is expected. And the future is already blooming.
