The Concept Behind
creative vision – composition – expression - light
"I love to paint with light" - This simple line describes
the best my passion for visual arts which involves both, artistic and
technical skills, intended to produce aesthetic (fine art) artifacts
with digital media. Even though I had tried out different visual art
forms (starting with traditional art), I'm mostly active as
photographer and digital artist. This way I'm in the position to,
additionally, create sequential and conceptual art, as well as visual
compositions, with various ideas and messages. I don't have a
personal, unique style, rather an eclectic approach to fine arts, a
kind of mixed styles called eclecticism or polystylism, which should
not be misunderstood as academic art or syncretism.
In ancient
Greece, the term mimesis was used with the reference to the creation
of works of art, with connection to the physical world
understood as a model of beauty, truth and the good. However, the
contemporary meaning of the word mimesis does not apply to the
philosophical aspect behind my work, since I'm not an imitator or
actor by nature. I was said to be a realist with strong attention to
details.
The accurate representation of the visual appearance of things is mostly present in my photography (and some digital artworks), which embodies a form of reason, that is non-repressive and non-violent. However, every now and then, I do let my imagination a free flow, which results in simple or more complex compositions, with familiar or imaginary themes.
Design & Illustration
bauhaus - geometry - topology - manifold
Geometry was one of my favorite parts of mathematics. It evolved independently following some basic (Euclidian) concepts and applications to the field of art and architecture. It has a strong influence in my work as apparel and home decor designer. Bauhaus has a strong approach to design which strives to combine beauty with usefulness and attempts to unify the principles of mass production with individual artistic vision. It was founded upon the idea of creating a total work of art, in which all the arts would be brought together. The inspiration for my designs stems from ancient, ethno and tribal motives. The work process ranges from elegant minimalism to serial art compositions.
