Bernard Simunovic

Bernard Simunovic is a Croatian designer and artist, living and working in Germany and Croatia.

One of the most compelling aspects of Bernard's art lies in the delicate balance between complexity and simplicity.
Each piece is meticulously crafted to present a visually captivating composition that immediately draws the viewer's attention.
However, upon closer inspection, the intricate layers and details reveal a deeper complexity beneath the surface.

Bernard achieves this harmonious interplay by employing a combination of bold, vibrant colors, refined forms, and minimalistic lines.
The simplicity of the black or colored contour line serves as a unifying element throughout the body of work, guiding the viewer's gaze and infusing the pieces with a sense of cohesion. It acts as a visual thread that weaves through the artworks, connecting diverse subjects and narratives.

The deliberate use of minimalism in Bernard's works also allows for open interpretation and invites the viewer to actively engage with the art.
By stripping away extraneous details, Bernard encourages a focused examination of the core essence and concepts within each piece.
This deliberate simplification enables the viewer to delve deeper into the underlying emotions...
