Tlałka’s artistic practice revolves around surrealist aesthetics. She draws inspiration from personal experiences, reflections on everyday life, dreams, interpersonal relationships, and mental and physical states. A recurring motif in her work is the eye, symbolizing observation and emotional intensity. The eye functions both formally and symbolically – as a medium for conveying internal states and as a tool for establishing a connection between the viewer and the artwork. Her fascination with horror literature, especially the works of H.P. Lovecraft, plays a significant role in her creative universe. Elements of mystery, unease, and elusive fear are prominent in her art, carrying both aesthetic and existential significance. Weronika Tlałka’s paintings are an attempt to capture feelings that are difficult to articulate – balancing between beauty and fear, dream and reality. While each piece is rooted in her personal experiences, her intention is to open space for universal emotional resonance among viewers. Currently, she continues to develop her practice in Gdańsk, creating works full of tension, emotion, and ambiguity.
