The evasive phrase "It must be the weather" is usually used to somewhat ironically explain the unexplainable. Gabriela Slaninková (1993) uses it to point to moods and mental states that sometimes come and go as imperceptibly as meteorological changes. At the same time, it is the key to paintings where reality merges with introspection and real events take place more in the head than in the outside world. Her paintings capture moments in which the body remains present but the mind recedes from it. In her paintings, the figures or faces of the girls, which often correspond in format to real size, find themselves in a more or less defined personal space, where life situations are transformed into melancholic images of mental states. This feeling of unwittingly finding oneself "outside oneself" is characteristic of Slaninková. The figures are clearly part of their real here and now, but at the same time they sink into their own universe, an inner space without a clear narrative anchor. The events dissolve into an atmosphere suggesting the weight of a plot that cannot be seen, only suspected.
