The work “Morpheus” (2018) shows flowing lines across the format. They are concentrated in deep black, which somehow seems threatening, are overlaid by a vertical strip of translucent pink and delicate, light bands. They look like sheets that are placed over the interior of an empty apartment. The materiality of these ribbons raises the question of what they hide: What is dormant in our subconscious? What will our dreams reveal when the veil is lifted in sleep? The light peach shade of the background is reminiscent of the pastel colours of the morning sky. The darkness of the night is displaced by the light of the coming day, the access to the dream world is closed.

In “a dream of: LIGHTING UP THE DARK” (2018) it is the orange and pink coloured lines that create a contrast to the strong blue and black and testify to the light in the darkness named in the title of the painting. The "Hold on to yourself" series was created during the Corona lockdown in spring 2020. Gray and black lines move on a light background interspersed with coloured accents. Partly superimposed on each other, partly liberating, it seems like a struggle. Tomasko contrasts the reality of the spreading pandemic with a dream world.
