Keeper of Worlds

Anna Tomicka

In Keeper of Worlds the artist combines a masterful painting technique, drawing on the tradition of the Italian Renaissance, with a surreal and unsettling vision. The seemingly classical scene – a female nude set against a mountainous landscape – loses its sense of clarity. Dark, amorphous forms enter the pictorial space, evoking shadows, fragments of bodies, and cosmic constellations.

Artist statement

My work explores the space between dreams and reality, where the boundary between the body and the universe fades. The figures in my paintings exist in a suspended world, where the subconscious takes form through fragmented, intertwined, or dissolving bodies, absorbed into a dark, flowing energy.

Using oil on canvas, I try to capture the fleeting moment when identity begins to shift, opening the way for transformation. The body becomes a gateway, a passage between the visible world and inner perception, between what is real and what is unknown.

Through my paintings, I invite the viewer to step into this threshold, to experience both the mystery and the beauty of the unknown, and to embrace the idea that existence is always shifting and evolving.
