For the author, the interspace is a place where she works with gestural painting. She focuses on stylized forms of beings’ gazes. She perceives the concept of “inter-space” as a dynamic field of energy between herself and another being or entity. This space has a physical, psychological, and intuitive dimension. The visual form of the paintings is often based on reflections of current life situations and relationships, which I understand as an experiential space. At the same time, the interspace blurs gender boundaries: the emerging face or scene is born from the subconscious and is not a portrait of a specific person, but a visual trace of mutual interaction. Tereza Brlicová explores the phenomenon of mirroring, relationship patterns, sensitivity, self-esteem, and boundaries. Gestural painting allows her to work with physicality and processuality. Through her paintings, she explores the present moment and authenticity. The series of paintings is based on mapping relationships, situations, or personal experiences. She focuses on gesture, trace, color, degree of stylization, choice of format, and installation.
