Miloš Hronec focuses on painting. He comes from Bratislava and this environment has gradually formed him artistically. Author works with oil painting, acrylic, spray and drawing. His formal epression is based on expressionism, street art and graffiti. " The paintings are expressive. I shape the human figure freely. In places I consciously distort. Calm parts of the painting alternate with violent, gestural strokes. The slow-drying oil is later contrasted with quick-drying acrylic and spray. Portrait paintings alternate figuratively. The image of the child alternates with the old man, next to the woman is a man. One experiences happiness, another suffers mentally. I sometimes get almost to abstraction from less expressive characters. I created most of the paintings intensively over a period of a year and a half. I repainted many works repeatedly, many completely erased. During creation, my idea of what and how I want to portray gradually developed. It was a living process. I often reflected my own crises, suffering, but also joys into the characters on the canvases." The technique is primarily a combination of traditional oil painting and spray painting. My work is figurative and expressive. A combination of proven art procedures and improvisation." The author’s works are part of private collections in the US, Canada, Australia, Malaysia, Saudi Arabia, Israel and many European countries. --------
