Viktorija Skafaru

Viktorija Skafaru's artistic experimentation moves from the search for structured but essential forms, which come to life from very different cultures, from fourteenth-century Tuscan painting to Orthodox icons up to the Japanese sumi-e tradition, to create her own original language, rich in meditative atmospheres suspended in time.

The artist also paints outdoors in the places of her town, taking inspiration from ancient monuments and the vitality of the people she meets.

For the canvases made in oil, the medium of choice, the artist does not use sketches as "creating a work is a process of discovery", where the line corresponds to the gesture, to the movement of the hand that expresses the energy of the moment.

Often the figurative elements open onto an abstract background, so much so that the landscape is transformed into an internal, symbolic landscape.

In the series of works "Montagne d'Incanto" only rocks appear, depicted with the essentiality of fourteenth-century paintings; the essence of the mountain is represented there, with a composition that abandons perspective to create forms "without space and time". The rocks seem suspended, in backgrounds of monochrome color where with an optical play the solids and voids mix...
