Togarbo creates oil paintings that inhabit the space between who we have been and who we are becoming.

Her work places figures within atmospheric and psychological landscapes — thresholds, corridors of light, windows, vast distances — where the environment itself becomes a map of interior states. Rather than resolving the tension between departure and arrival, her paintings hold it. What remains is the feeling of standing at the edge of something unnamed, suspended between memory and emergence.

Through restrained imagery and deliberate ambiguity, Togarbo renders transformation not as event but as condition — the sustained, quiet work of becoming.

BogaCA's work begins in observation and arrives somewhere stranger. From intimate wildlife portraits and expressive florals to quiet surrealist narratives where drawn creatures step off the page, her paintings reorganize the familiar through a child's internal logic — where scale shifts without explanation, objects carry feeling, and the world follows emotional rather than physical rules.

Her practice is rooted in an early encounter with drawing, formed in the quiet intervals after childhood lessons with an elderly neighbor. In those moments, drawing existed without hierarchy or expectation. Shortly before her passing, the mentor offered a final directive — to never stop drawing. This persists not as nostalgia, but as an underlying structure: a return to image-making as a way of thinking, remembering, and reconfiguring reality through instinct as much as observation.

For BogaCA, realism and surrealism are not opposites but coexisting conditions. The work does not escape reality; it reorganizes it.
