ABOUT THE ARTWORK

The idea for the paintings in the series Zoo de Vincennes - which is in the process of searching and experimentation - was conceived based on my perceptions after visiting aquariums and zoos, and the mixed emotions that I felt there: the sharp opposition to the magical, ethereal, light and pure presence of the inside locked nature and the "exploring" observer of the "attraction"; the nature - crippled by its natural strength and power, "projected" behind a "showcase", a sham background, a scenery, which, however, is a bearer of real lives - beautiful for contemplation, but painful as impact, cut off from their natural environment, framed prisoners by man, who is rudely, lordly, aggressively and imperiously pounding, screaming, photographing in ecstasies, enjoying himself or even feeling bored in this micro world of nature recreated between walls. The workflow on the Zoo de Vincennes launched in 2015. I’ve sought a diversity in scaling and formatting the pictures, and in order to reinforce the contrast between the subjects of my attention, I have used various pictorial techniques - a pasty and expressive painting in the creation of the image of the man, and the smooth and light technique of the airbrush - in the depiction of the aquariums.

Breaking free from the constraints of convention, experimenting with different painting techniques and materials, and exploring a range of subjects are key elements in my creative process. The connections between the real and virtual, the natural and urban, the constantly shifting values of society, and our place in the fragmentation of time and space due to the fast-paced life of modern times, are questions that provoke me in my artistic pursuits. I prefer the expressionistic approach, which involves distorting the image of reality, and in my paintings, the reality I depict is often fragmented and detailed, verging on abstraction. I aim to blur the lines between the real and the imaginary, the visible and the invisible, and the internal and the external, and to construct a synthesis between realism and abstraction. My current obsession is to use an airbrush technique to create a light, ethereal atmosphere and to combine it with bold, highly textured brushstrokes of oil paints in contrast. The art I create is primarily motivated by my personal experiences and happenings of the present, filtered through the lens of my sensitivity and emotions. I hope to provoke reactions and reflections in the viewer, offering them a perspective to my worldview.
