War Story II Painting

Kresimir Crash Vorich Born on March 5th 1973, in Osijek, Croatia, one of the well-known industrial and cultural cities of formal Yugoslavia. I determined my passion for art early in my childhood. When I gather all the years, the efforts, ideas, women, children, friendships, wars, emotions, canvases and colors, when I look at this bunch of stuff say: Move on. Build this mountain and go on. No matter what happens. You can see it as self-sacrifice, but the Art must flow matter what. This is the artistic self-control: to pull yourself together and carry on. Oil painting on canvas and wood, which has been developed in turbulent times of life. The art begins to develop itself. This continuous development is evident in different techniques and formats: dark, baroque and detailed Vanitas, as well as bloody and old-master biblical sceneries .... Sometimes I'm working with fine brushes, sometimes with pallete-knife or paint cutter, showing broad and stylish painting skills. I urge the viewer to go into the deeper level of my works, and take a dialogue - even with their own images in mind. I have great respect for the unspeakable, but I still want to catch it. In this polarity lies the power of my images; they all point to an irrepressible vitality, despite all the hardship.
