Latest thing I got from Timeless was: Problem/Solution 4.

22 x 30 cm – 400 pages – Hardcover

Timeless is proud to present a huge opus collecting for the first time in one big tome the latest issues of Problem and Solution. With many more pages than in the previous books, this heavy baby inludes ALL NEW artworks from Aleksandra Waliszewska, it is NOT A REPRINT or a COMPILATION of the previous Problem/Solution books. Brand new foreword by David Tibet and afterword by Nick Cave. Layout by Miss Waliszewska and Ania Goszczyńska.Limited to 400 copies only.

Previous one, two separate books, Problem 3 and Solution 3. All good. It seems that Solution is horizontal drawings and Problem is vertical. All work out nicely. It is good to see Timeless to do these things. While I liked Timeless already as magazine about power electronics, but now being distributor and publisher of both fringe art and relevant high class obscure art, getting names like Tibet and Nick Cave, or putting out Laibach book... certainly nice progression!

Aleksandra seems to be highly prolific. So much of art, and often repeating certain themes / concepts, naive and nearly childish approach - but often result is unique. Nightmarish visions, odd surreal feel to things. Repetition of specific figures, animals, scenarios, but never dull. Always somehow unique.

If you have not checked out any works, I guess google works out well and one can read more for example here:

Interesting.  Some of her work seems a little too cartoonish for my taste, but much of it gives me a similar feeling to what I get from looking at Picasso's post-Cubist artworks.  The monochromatic, print-like pieces are especially nice.

Cannot recommend enough the Problem/Solution 4 book. One of my favourite recent purchases. I already mentioned it in the Art Books Recommendations thread, but I had the title not entirely correct. I only called it Problem.

I really like her work. I like the aura of east european desperation/decay/folklore

I agree.  They seem similar to that approach to that subject taken by some of the German Expressionists.
