About 

Timea Paál (b. 1983) also known as The Artifictional is a Hungarian multidisciplinary artist based in Romania. With a strong background in architecture and graphic design, she has always looked for ways to merge creativity with technology, pushing artistic boundaries and reshaping visual expression.

Her work teeters on the fine line between reality and the surreal, creating compositions that are both unusual and oddly believable—inviting viewers to reconsider what they think they know. Every piece is built on a clear, central idea, with subjects, forms, and textures carefully chosen to reinforce that concept. Anything unnecessary is stripped away, keeping the composition clean, structured, and purposeful.

She draws inspiration from the mundane, finding unexpected connections between shapes and forms, playing with perceptual shifts and language-driven ideas—deconstructing words or taking idioms literally. Her work has a quirky quality, often twisting the familiar into something unexpected, inviting viewers to share in the intrigue of reinterpreting the ordinary.
