CONTEMPORARY ART REVIEW
painting . In my opinion it is rather skill and craft than art .
I mix colors on the palette completely instinctively , but as far as glazing goes it is necessary to be acquainted with technics , so in my practice technique supports intuition .
The effective combination between both intense and thoughtful nuances of tones sums up the mixture of a variety of feelings that in “ Shocking Red “ and especially in “ Maya ” seems to speak of struggle and emotions . How much does your own psychological makeup determine the nuances of tones you decide to use in a piece and in particular , how do you develop a painting ’ s texture ? Moreover , how did you think about your style – your choices of composition and palette ?
There is very close relation between my psychological make-up and painting , it has been even medically stated . I had some problems at school and my Mother decided to check what is wrong with me . After series of psychological examinations it was confirmed , that I have dyslexia , dysgraphia , dysortography , which is typical for people extremely gifted artistically .
Developing a painting texture I usually focus at right proportions , closed composition , providing “ breath “ – free space from the side where light is dominating . I am using very intense , clean colors . I draw from Old Masters heritage to produce my pieces :
