Trzmiel works primarily in acrylic paint, creating detailed figurative and still-life paintings. Her painting style is highly realistic and often on the macabre side, falling somewhere between the classical paintings of the Renaissance or Dutch Masters and Lynchian cinema. Informed by Surrealist theory and the Gothic/alternative subculture she grew up in, her work explores themes of identity, mysticism, alchemy, and philosophy.

If you are interested in an original painting or print, or would like to request a commission, please contact her directly through email or private message on social media.
