@treeskulltown
Qu’y a-t-il avant la forme ? Avant l’image reconnaissable ?
Depuis 5 ans, j’explore cette question avec le “Sub-réalisme”. Une plongée dans l’abstraction gestuelle, cette sous-couche de l’histoire de l’art que je peins et anime à la main.
Chaque œuvre est un fragment de cette énergie primordiale.
What is there before the shape? Before the recognizable image?
For 5 years, treeskulltown has been exploring this question with ‘Sub-realism’. A dive into gestural abstraction, it is a sub layer of art history painted and animated by hand.
Each work is a fragment of this primordial energy.

💻📷🖱️✨ Meet the bold and boundary-blurring work of Renata Janiszewska @renatajiji_— a true Techspressionist whose digital canvases pulse with emotion, movement, and layered meaning.
🌀 In her piece Pastels Souffles, featured in Four Techspressionist Artists, and commissioned by @150mediastream, in Chicago, @chicago Janiszewska merges computer-generated elements with hand-drawn digital paintings, using custom brushes. These become her characters, woven into beautiful mise-en-scènes through a mix of apps and techniques:
✂️ layering,🔁 looping💥 superimposition,✨ blending.
🌎🙀
Much like an early hip-hop artist sampling beats, she splices visual loops with mobile editing tools, while composing her own soundtracks 🎧 for full sensory impact.
The DIY spirit of her method fuels fearless experimentation — each piece evolving quickly through hybrid formats and spontaneous chance. ☁️
🧬 Themes like bio-degradation, altered perception, temporal erosion, and feminism ripple through her work, giving it both urgency and resonance.
📲 Don’t miss Pastels Souffles — hypnotic, emotional, and very now. Sounds and visuals by the artist.🌍🌟Special thanks curator @yugezhou
