Desine Sperare Qui Hic Intras Painting

Paul Yunin (1992 of the b.) - a painter from Russia, working in St. Petersburg. By education he is an engineer. I studied painting and sculpture by myself. I paint in the genre of dark surrealism, but not trying to stay within the frames of the genre. Rather, on the contrary, I trying to avoid stamps that have developed in different kinds of dark styles of world art. There are not a goal to depict a horror story, cause anxiety in the viewer. I have a need for experiment and a search for new ways of expressing an idea. At the beginning of his work, I tuning in to the wave of maximum openness of soul and sincerity. I trying to make my artworks truly, as Friedrich Nietzsche had said "writing with own blood". I task is to convey the light and darkness of my own experiences, feelings, thoughts as accurately as possible with the help of non-verbal images, and of the archetypes. I trying to pack the prose of reality into a bright poetic form. I as if direct the brush that gives birth to images on the canvas which my subconscious suggests to me. In painting I mostly use the scumble technique of painting. It unites me with his favorit Renaissance artists, with symbolism and some mysticism of their artworks. Behind the gloomy atmosphere of artist's works there are hidden the revelations of the subconscious, deep, perhaps vulnerable sensuality, religious mysticism and even lyricism. Behind thorn spikes, suffering of heroes and unearthly matters there is spiritual nakedness, liberation from the burdensome conventions of the surrounding world and striving for truth, at all cost, whether it is pleasant or cruel. Since the fall of 2017, I work with sculpture. In addition to experimental projects, I produced a series of erotic sculptures and a series of sculptures from the paintings of Polish artist Zdzislaw Beksinski, whose works made a great influence on me. In 2019 Zdzislaw would have turned 90 years old.
