Egonia Art

EGONIA is a visual dialogue with colors on the canvas.
This is conversation of two Egos that do not exchange words
but exclusively visually interact.
There was no verbal communication about the artwork.
It was a kind of ritual: each of us started painting on two canvases
and exchanged them every seven days.
After the completion of "four stages," the painting was "finished,"
so each painting was created within the 28 days’ time frame regardless of circumstances.
During EGONIA, from November 2021 to April 2022, we painted 24 artworks.
Technique was the essence of artistic visual expression: oil on canvas.
………………………………………
In the world of contemporary art, how does the essence of the human mind
reflect in expression on the artwork?
If we put our Ego under "control", can we achieve a deeper understanding of ourselves and others?
Years of experience have shaped us through personal criteria and value systems
in the sense of limitation and we need to re-explore the questions
"Who am I?" "Who are you?" "Who are we?"
We need a new meaning, a new connection.
The desire for a deeper understanding of ourselves and others
inspired us to create joint paintings that would become a mirror
of our thoughts, emotions and personal dilemma...
