About abstracts

In artworld, in painting world, there is all about color. This is my base for creative research. Only, when looking at a painting and when we forget our awareness of known objects and shapes, we can devote ourselves to the analysis of the artwork - the pure feeling of colors and combinations of colors.

When I go to work on a painting, I am looking for inspiration. I make sketches in which I mark the main assumptions. Each picture looks for a reason in reality. I have some assumptions at the beginning of the work, and in order not to lose them while creating the painting, I try to note them down in the form of a sketch, analyzing formal aspects such as: composition, color intensity, dynamics or the subject.

My paintings are considered abstract, but I see a lot of nature-based themes in them. They resound through the structure, color combinations, their internal tensions and tensions in the combinations. Whether the image is already abstract or still real is a subjective feeling. We create on a material basis that has tensions in it, already determined by the format, hence the inspiration for even abstract images, in fact, comes from experiencing reality. Even if the creations were created in a dream, they result from previous experiences.

It would seem that abstraction, Pure Art, will be detached from reality. I don't believe it, I think that some real aspects are always the pretext to create works. Is it the tension of directions, the contrasts of large and small elements, the contrasts of light and shadow, or the number of elements, or the variety of structures, or emotions, or many, many others.

The most important thing, whether in naturalistic or surreal or abstract paintings, is that there is a metaphysical feeling. It makes art meaningful. Art is supposed to cause higher metaphysical feelings, become a reason for emotional feelings, whether in someone it will evoke negative or positive emotions, or euphoria or even indifference, this is where I see the arts sense.
