The gaze, watching and surveillance have become the central theme of Glorie Grünwaldová's work. She develops it across many layers – from the perception of her own physical existence, through the symbolic level, to the new principles that come with our anchoring in virtual space. "I am interested in the gaze not only as an act of seeing, but also as the way we are perceived and the way we perceive ourselves and others," she explains.
She takes the same approach to the phenomenon of landscape. Alongside the classical notion of a natural or urban landscape, she is also drawn to the immaterial, digital one – shaped above all by the environment of social media. It is precisely there that a specific tension plays out between what is visible and what remains hidden. She places herself into this environment in the form of a shifting female figure or a collective, and through the inner constellations of the image she explores and releases her own tension arising from the feeling of constant surveillance, self-control and evaluation.
The artist belongs to a generation for which moving between the virtual and the physical interface is a completely natural way of inhabiting this world. This intuitively imprints itself on the distinctive aesthetics of her works, where she approaches the virtual not only by simplifying shapes and through a carefully chosen colour palette, but above all by using patterns and structures. These symbolically act as a kind of camouflage and mimicry, while at the same time fighting for attention in a world saturated with visual stimuli. "I enjoy working with these contradictions. I layer, I overlap, I stylise – a painting should be strong, yet ambiguous at the same time," she explains.
Glorie ranks among the young progressive generation of artists. In 2025 she completed her master's degree at the Faculty of Fine Arts of the Brno University of Technology under the guidance of Vasil Artamonov. Her paintings monumentalise the subtle nuances of feelings, situations and everyday gestures, sensitively commenting on our current way of existing on the boundary between the physical and the digital interface. In 2025 she presented a solo exhibition at the Dolmen gallery, showing a series of large-format paintings partly referencing her own self-portrait. Her group exhibitions of recent years include presentations at Bold Gallery and DSC Gallery in Prague, the House of the Lords of Kunštát in Brno, and Tomas Umrian Contemporary in Bratislava.
