Květa Pacovská (Prague, July 28, 1928) is a Czech painter, sculptor, and illustrator. She studied and graduated in Applied Arts. She was a professor in Berlin, and as she herself has said, she began her career in illustration by trying to share an activity with her children, in an attempt to share something creative.

Although she is distinguished as an illustrator, after the 1990s Květa has also developed a career in sculpture and painting with numerous exhibitions in Germany, France, the Netherlands, Belgium, and Japan, with shows at the Pompidou Center in Paris and at the Museum of Applied Arts in Frankfurt, among others. Both in her pictorial work and in her children's illustrations, one can see the influences of constructivism and the play and color that evoke Paul Klee and Vasily Kandinsky. Hers is a very sensitive constructivism, and in her designs the influence of the Bauhaus School is evident. Coordination: Va de cuentos and María Maraña
