Zsófia Jákli
(2003- ), Hungary
Painter
„From error to error, one discovers the entire truth”
-Sigmund Freud
Zsofia Jakli is a young Hungarian painter with a unique vision and a deep passion for creating art that evokes strong emotions in the viewer. Her surrealistic figures are captivating and have a haunting atmosphere that draws you in and leaves you pondering long after you have viewed them.
Zsofia is a visionary artist who is unafraid to explore the darker aspects of the human experience in her quest to create art that is both visually striking and emotionally resonant. Her paintings are a testament to her commitment to pushing the boundaries of traditional art forms and to her dedication to creating work that leaves a lasting impact on those who experience it.
"The interplay of colored spots in my paintings invites viewers to delve deeper into the familiar yet tension-filled scenes. By breaking down forms into details and experiencing the undulating space and lights, one can uncover hidden motives that may not be immediately apparent."
In her work, Zsofia experiments with a variety of techniques, including oil, pastels, and spray paint, and she is not afraid to use bold, vibrant colors to create a sense of intensity and drama in her pieces. Her use of color and texture adds an extra layer of depth to her already complex and intricate compositions.
VISION
Zsofia's mission as an artist is to delve into the depths of the human psyche and explore themes of dementia, early traumas, and their lasting effects on the individual. She is fascinated by the power of the mind to create internal images from our dreams or memories, and she seeks to bring these images to life on canvas in a way that is both thought-provoking and visually stunning.
Zsofia's values as an artist are rooted in a deep respect for the power of art to move and inspire others. She believes that art has the ability to connect us on a deep emotional level and to help us explore and understand our own innermost thoughts and feelings. Through her work, she hopes to spark conversations and provoke introspection in those who view her paintings.

Theme & Symbolism
"Dreams of an AI" is a series of three paintings created between June 2023 and 2024, exploring the psychological concept of the "uncanny valley" - the uneasy feeling elicited by objects that closely resemble humans but fall short, sparking a mix of sympathy, disgust, and fear.
This phenomenon extends beyond humanoid objects to all visual realms, including those generated by AI. Through realistic color contrasts and shadow play, my paintings offer a sense of comfort akin to our familiar world. However, juxtaposed sharp contrasts, soft spots, and unrecognizable surfaces create an eerie, unsettling atmosphere that prompts viewers to interpret and explore further.
The motif of games in my work holds strong emotional significance, as they mimic reality but exist on the uncanny curve. Humanoid features in these games trigger a mix of affection and "cute aggression," where our desire to care can unexpectedly turn into aggression. By evoking such intense reactions, cuteness is a common tool in media to elicit responses, though the long-term effects are still unknown.
Through this series, I aim to provoke a lasting impression in viewers, igniting internal reflection and leaving a memorable impact.

Theme & Symbolism
"Shining" is a series that I began in January 2024, using spray paint and pastel chalk. The artworks in this collection are created in a serene and mesmerizing style. Objects seem to float in space, with surfaces having a subtle plasticity that allows the focus to shift to the interplay of colors and shapes.
The deliberate arrangement of colored spots and the flowing shapes guide the viewer's gaze, inviting them to explore a unique visual realm within the artwork.

Theme & Symbolism
"Deleted Files of Childhood" is a series that began in March 2024, with some pieces currently in progress. These artworks delve into the impact of traumatic childhood memories on our brain structure, even if we cannot consciously recall them.
The series serves as a metaphor for how just the act of viewing these paintings can create new connections in the brain, sparking subtle but significant changes. The settings depict children's rooms with an eerie atmosphere, drawing inspiration from the unsettling "Backrooms" theory explored in various art videos. These videos present infinite, slightly different corridors and rooms, each evoking a distinct mood.
Through figures leaping out of planes, unidentifiable objects, and disorienting lights and shadows, the paintings challenge viewers to question the space and location depicted. The aim is to provoke initial confusion and inspire a deeper exploration of the forms and the enigmatic spaces portrayed. By encouraging internal interpretation and reflection, the series prompts viewers to confront their own unsettling and chaotic inner memories.
