Tomás Jetela

The Shifting Identities series brings together a collection of paintings in which Tomáš Jetela investigates the fragmentation of the image as a reflection of the perceptual and psychological instability of the contemporary subject. The works are constructed as open visual fields, where figuration and abstraction coexist in tension, giving rise to unstable compositions in which forms unfold, overlap, and come into friction. This formal ambiguity prevents a unique reading and activates painting as a space of constantly transforming interpretation. From a conceptual perspective, the series addresses the coexistence of multiple identities within the same individual, understanding fragmentation not as rupture, but as a structural condition of human experience. The internal movement of the images, generated through repetition, formal decomposition, and compositional tensions, functions as a metaphor for a branched and contradictory mind.
