Irene Antonez doesn’t just paint mushrooms—she channels them. A Prague-based artist, musician, and lifelong mycophile, her work merges a sort of scientific precision with deep creative intuition, revealing the unseen worlds of fungi, lichens, and microorganisms in a way that speaks directly to cultivators, artists, and visionaries alike.
With a background in Future Design and Fine Art, Irene’s art is fueled by microscopic research, hands-on foraging, and a reverence for the natural intelligence of fungi. She draws from old school botanical artists, ethnomycology, and the organic chaos of mycelial networks—transforming spores and hyphae into intricate, mesmerizing compositions. Whether she’s painting the delicate veils of an Amanita, magnifying the cryptic beauty of mycelium, or weaving feminist symbolism into her work, Irene’s art invites us to see fungi not just as organisms, but as creative collaborators.
Beyond her canvas, Irene is a mycelial storyteller—teaching workshops, crafting entheogenic mandalas, and contributing to projects like Mushroom Magic, where film, fungi, and art converge. For those who see mycology as more than just science—who view cultivation, music, and visual art as extensions of the fungal mind—Irene’s work is a portal into a world where creativity and mycelium grow together.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
