Vilhelmová’s works invite the viewer to a border area between clarity and an ever-evolving ambiguity. Her black and white etchings, often combined with multiple techniques, show overlapping textures with enigmatic abstract forms against luminous backgrounds.
The viewer is invited to decipher the layers of her compositions, much like an archaeologist uncovering layers of a forgotten past. Each print invites careful exploration, uncovering and interpreting the detailed textures step by step.
The black textures contrasting from dense, imperfect networks of lines to bold, single strokes combine with faded traces of letters and weave together with white voids. These thoughtfully arranged elements show a determination that arouses curiosity.
