Mikuláš Galanda (1895–1938) was a Slovak painter, graphic artist, and illustrator, recognized as one of the pioneers of modern art in Slovakia. His work is characterized by a synthesis of modernist styles, including elements of Cubism, Expressionism, and Symbolism, often infused with themes of Slovak folk culture and national identity. Galanda was a member of the "Generation of 1909," a group of Slovak artists who sought to modernize Slovak art and integrate it into broader European artistic movements.

One of Galanda's notable works is Zasnená (translated as "Dreamy" or "The Dreamer"), a painting that exemplifies his unique artistic approach. Created in the 1930s, Zasnená reflects Galanda's interest in portraying the human figure, particularly women, in a stylized and introspective manner. The painting depicts a female figure in a contemplative pose, rendered with soft, flowing lines and a subdued color palette. The composition emphasizes simplicity and harmony, with a focus on the emotional and symbolic resonance of the subject.

Galanda's work, including Zasnená, often draws on Slovak cultural motifs while incorporating modernist techniques. His art bridges the gap between tradition and innovation, making him a key figure in the development of Slovak modern art. Zasnená is considered an example of his ability to convey introspection and emotion through minimalist yet evocative forms.

Today, Mikuláš Galanda's contributions to Slovak art are widely recognized, and his works are held in high regard. Many of his paintings, including Zasnená, are housed in Slovak galleries and museums, where they continue to be appreciated for their artistic and cultural significance.
