Portrait IV Painting

The author is inspired by an expressionist understanding of the image, with strong black contours and unadorned motifs, however, in his work there is also a surrealist trace of otherworldly apparitions lurking somewhere in the background of our mind and ego burdened by control. Stefan Stevanović's paintings present dark, grotesque creatures to a man who is trained by social norms that tend to restrain him and rein in the unpredictable animal in him. The bizarre creatures in Stevanović's paintings do not address what the viewer wants to show, but what they hide. In front of others, a person strives for a harmonious, calm, conventionally beautiful and attractive appearance and expects the same from others. However, what society, culture and conventions reject as undesirable settles beneath that beautified surface, so behind the scenes can easily lurk the ghosts shown in these pictures, equally eager for control and power.
