Martina Rotlingova

Martina Rötlingová has been continuously dealing with current social topics, analyzing images of the “perfect” world of pop culture, ideals of beauty, and the impact of social networks on our lives. She works primarily in the traditional medium of painting, in which she critically evaluates the phenomena of the contemporary post-media world and consumer society. She combines a realistic approach with the hyperrealism technique and trompe l’oeil with deconstruction in a form of blurring, creasing or deformation. She continuously works in cycles, that she has been developing over the years, and shifts them through new approaches in her work.
