Wide Eyed

In Wide Eyed, Trybala continues to explore relationship dynamics through figurative painting. Her work, inspired by personal conversations with friends and family, captures an emotive response to the social dynamics of contemporary life while also referencing traditional Western painting practices.

In this new body of work, the figures step into the spotlight becoming main characters in their own narrative rather than obscured amongst the setting. Hints of objects and landscape emerge to ground the figures to time and place, suggesting an unfolding story. The introduction of stronger narrative elements heightens the emotional intensity of the works, inviting viewers to explore the contexts that influence intimacy and offer new perspectives on the physical and emotional landscapes that shape human connection.
