Created between the artist’s residency in New York and her solo exhibition Wild at Steel Heart at HIDDEN.
This painting captures a moment of emotional overflow — a sudden crack in the façade, where the image slips and something raw breaks through.
Krištofíková blends hyperreal portraiture with playful distortions, allowing the figure to oscillate between sincerity and absurdity, intimacy and theatrical exaggeration. The work stands at the threshold of two important periods in her practice, reflecting both the intensity of her time at Cooper Union and the growing confidence that shaped her later series.
