Mundo de sombras Print

My name is Mátyás Zsolt Sárosi, I was born in 1985 in the small Transylvanian town of Kézdivásárhely. I am a graphic artist, my earlier acrylic paintings are also rather colorful graphics. I like to paint/plaster layers by masking and build up the painting like an inverted sgraffito. Lately I have returned to pen and acrylic ink drawing. I attack the large canvas with the opposite impulse, I don't want large scale, airy compositions and spacious brush strokes, but I want to saturate it to the brim with as much detail as possible, typical of miniature painting. The larger the canvas, the thinner the pen. Sometimes it takes me up to a month to fill the page. My drawings can be browsed for a longer period of time, allowing the eye and mind to wander. The overall picture is complex, and here I learn from nature: the closer you look at a formation, the more complex it is, the more you can discover the miniature sprawl of its components, and as you break it down further and closer to its organic and then inorganic structure, to the substance itself in the end, it doesn't get simpler, but on the contrary, more complex with each step closer. In such a drawing, the viewer can examine under a microscope not just the familiar living or inanimate matter, but an abstract, biomechanical world of my own creation. With these drawings, I also search for my roots and the why of the surrealist expression that has accompanied my work throughout.
