ABOUT THE ARTWORK

The painting theme was inspired by the paintings of Velasquez and by the "Study after Velázquez's Portrait of Pope Innocent X" by Francis Bacon. Both artists represented the higher ruler of the church hierarchy but Francis Bacon created variant representations of the Pope in which he represented him as a screaming figure and he degraded his figure in a modern manner specific to his style. In my painting, I represented the Pope as they did, the higher figure at the top of the hierarchy chain, but the difference is that my Pope figure does not scream, he just sits on his throne enclosed by cross symbols, clocks, and pipes connected to the chair that constructs a controller scene. And from the throne, the pope stares at the viewer with an expression of supremacy. The painting theme was inspired by religion, the power of man, and the supremacy of faith all humans are having in this life. This painting represents the supremacy of guilt. original artwork oil on canvas dimension 50cm x 70cm,

SAFIR & RIFAS Artradio interview with Safir and Rifas Safir born on 23.11.1987 and Rifas born on 28.04.1983 in Deva, gained over the years of study in faculty, master and PHD studies, the experience and values necessary for any artist, also we consider that, the diversity in ideas and concepts is an essential addition to development and introduction of "innovation" in the Art World:"the image create the most magnificent cocktail of effect and sensation". What we mean is that we are , professionally trained and educated in both traditional and digital art, but always there are new things to learn, just to be given the chance to do so. The new values that we would bring through our creation in Art is that the diversity and originality would be present in our ideas and artworks that would become not only feasible but also of massive impact. Our creations include traditional painting, figurative or abstract, original concepts, photography, photo - manipulation, digital art. Mixed technique paintings are made by joining or patching pictorial surface with different combinations of materials and textures of cloth, cardboard, plywood, crystals and pulp color, well integrated in the coherence compositional structure. On the one hand, we give free will to the flow evolution and informal gestures, stimulating disintegrative forces, and on the other hand, clarifying forms of human traits, these wandering spirits are pushed to the limit of a symbolic dialogue with the audience. Substrate raise topics of psychological, philosophical, mystical, mythological, fantastic, romantic, literary, mathematical, metaphorical vision prior to painting, through metamorphosis and anamorphosis the figurative to the abstract images, from real to imaginary. "Diversity and originality are two concepts that characterize me. When someone chooses to go on a single road, his vision is blurred and he will not notice anything around him, this happens in art also, so I chose not to follow only one "art direction",instead I divesified my artistic approach. One thing can be recognized in my work and this is the personal touch of my style, this does not change, it's an personal and artistic DNA. Beyond the looking glass you will see the real me. "(Safir) "Matter and deformed concept of the relief form are the two approaches that define my art. What I want to output through my work is that whatever has shape, color, and relief and is tangible as matter is ephemeral.
