Gabriela Těthalová’s abstract paintings comprise intertwined planes and permeable surfaces, where organic shapes and wavy lines come together. Her bold colour palette, combined with geometric shapes and gestural strokes, is divided into overlapping and interlocking surfaces that tend to disrupt one’s sense of spatial orientation. Her paintings introduce an imaginary relationship with disorder and unpredictability. Despite their abstract nature, she plays with imagination and narrative through small figurative or surreal elements. Těthalová fuses drawing, painting, and collage techniques to create layered compositions that engage with the passage of time and make nuanced references to historical movements. Drawing inspiration from contemporary physics, music, and poetry, her work explores the interdisciplinary overlaps between scientific knowledge and artistic practice. These influences guide her exploration of universal themes and human experience through associative thinking across disciplines. Těthalová’s works explore the synergy between the body, objects and the environment. She views her paintings as hybrids of the physical and intellectual, driven by a pursuit of universal understanding. This pursuit reflects her fascination with matter and the structures underlying existence, where scientific concepts and artistic forms intersect.
