About this artwork
“Algol” was born from an old painting with which I no longer agreed.
In this work, hair has ceased to be just hair.
They have transformed into organic, almost autonomous forms — somewhere between roots, snakes, and extensions of the nervous system.
The portrait deliberately oscillates between presence and alteration.
The face retains a human softness, but something already seems to be mutating beneath the surface. The tired eyes, unstable contours,… and vibrant textures evoke a state of hypervigilance, as if perception itself were becoming too intense to remain perfectly stable.
The title "Algol" refers to the star historically associated with the head of Medusa — a changing, pulsating star, linked to the idea of transformation and disturbance of the gaze.

A Czech-born painter living in France, she develops a figurative practice centered on the body as a site of inner transformation. Nourished by training in visual arts and fashion design, her painting—influenced by expressionism—blends anatomical rigor with instinctive gestures.
Through figures often isolated, immersed, or confronted by a boundary (water, glass, surface), her work explores the processes of individuation and integration of the Shadow, in the sense of Carl Gustav Jung. The body becomes the visible stage for psychic and perceptual tensions, revealing
Through figures often isolated, immersed, or confronted by a boundary (water, glass, surface), her work explores the processes of individuation, the integration of the Shadow, and the states of vulnerability linked to becoming oneself. Flesh becomes the visible terrain of an intimate passage, where psychic tensions, sensory perception, and presence crystallize in the pictorial matter.
