Gizela works primarily in acrylic paint, creating detailed figurative paintings. Her painting style is informed by the Renaissance and Dutch Masters, with the influence of Surrealist theory, Lynchian cinema, and the Gothic/alternative subculture. Her work explores themes of identity, mysticism, alchemy, and philosophy.

Prints of her work are available from her Etsy shop. If you are interested in an original painting or would like to request a commission, please contact her directly.
