Abstraction of Reality
A time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones.
Ecclesiastes 3:5
Credo
Abstraction of Reality is a distillation of an event and episode that is important for a small or big quantity of people. It is an attempt to understand morals and ethics of the existence during a long period of time, the ethics that is concentrated in one flash and shot. These are interrelations pronounced through love and hatred; they are often diametrically opposite but natural, being of no pretence and pomposity. It is knowledge of spiritual life in the light of infinity of life manifested in the art of the past, in the religion and philosophy of the generations. It is not just an echo of everyday life, though very horrible, that is concentrated in wars and catastrophes.
Abstraction of Reality is an endeavor to walk along a thread that connects an ancient man and a contemporary. Interrelations of God and people, importance of spirituality and high morals, collision of Light and Darkness are eternal questions being repeated from century to century. Beauty and ugliness in interattraction and repulsion create the single world which is so diverse and strives to no harmony. Revival of spirit with lines and paints seems to be the only possible stylistics for such a task; this is the world of no idealization and it requires no correcting or amendments – it is a dominant of love and sympathy. It is more like a romantic music than a cacophony of a modern city. The multi-storey art has a corridor leading to the Light full of passion and freedom and requiring thorough meditation, comparison and discussion to learn a mission and purpose of the human life. All this is impossible without deep knowledge of painting technique, history, philosophy and psychology. Such painting is a rather complicated and dangerous tool that has to be treated with the utmost care. |
