About this artwork
This painting is part of the Repetition series, which explores the repetitive gestures of the body used to regulate internal tension.
In Counting, a finger gently presses against the lips, almost automatically. The gesture is discreet, nearly imperceptible, yet charged with physical intensity. It evokes those micro-actions that the body instinctively repeats to calm itself, concentrate, or regain balance.
The smooth surface of the background… contrasts with the denser texture of the skin, where the pressure of the gesture becomes visible. The painting captures a suspended moment between control and impulse—a moment where the body counts, measures, and seeks its own rhythm.
Through this intimate scene, the work invites us to observe these silent movements that reveal the way in which the body dialogues with itself.

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.
