Artist Statemen

For me, art is a conscious representation of something purposeful and explicable through physical phenomena. I always begin with a concept, method, and plan for arranging my artwork. However, I make compositional decisions during the painting process on the canvas, which is subject to the dynamic interplays and transformations among screen-like translucent colored fields. I employ changeable, thin colors using an airbrush to facilitate subtractive mixing between color units, challenging the notions of totality and uniformity. The clusters of blurred, airbrushed dots, connected by blurred broken lines, enable me to create versatile, fluctuating colored fields within these units. There is a mismatch between the descriptive language and the imagery; it is not only about color study but also about how colors create colors. One should not aim to define the colored sections in my paintings precisely.

Color and shape are not singular entities but a sum of particles, a confluence or diffluence of components, aligning with principles of quantum mechanics and decoupling. My interest extends beyond geometric shapes to edges that denote space and introduce differentiation, creation, productiveness, and growth. I simultaneously create flat and optical spaces on the canvas that represent complex images with visual stimulation and productive tension. I always consider my contemporary audience and myself, primarily those who need stimulation to engage. I do not create flat, sterile, and minimal art where all responsibility for meaning and interpretation is left solely to the viewer or does not exist. My work generates action and uncontrolled color vibrations instead of bold, uniform-colored sections. Color diversity reflects more physical phenomena, whereas a lack thereof should be someone's bold intention.

My art mirrors the complex and confounded world around me, allowing unexpected relationships and events to occur on the canvas through subtractive color mixing beyond my control. I value the element of surprise in creativity, akin to how social media generates content and fosters unpredictable improvisations. However, I remain skeptical and critical of the virtual and political realities that attempt to dictate my choices and tastes. I avoid a fixation on digital media and AI tools, choosing instead to focus on demonstrating the physical interactions between translucent colors and shapes on my canvas. The primary subjects of my paintings are the relationships between colors and the complexity of space. As I construct my dimensional compositions, I continually ask myself, ‘What do elements do in my painting?’ and ‘What kinds of emotions do they evoke?'

For Sharpe Walentas Studio

Art, for me, is a purposeful representation of physical phenomena. I start with a concept, method, and plan, but decisions evolve during the painting process. Using thin, changeable colors with an airbrush, I facilitate subtractive color mixing, challenging totality, and uniformity. Blurred, airbrushed dots and lines create versatile fields, showing color and shape as confluences of particles, aligning with quantum mechanics principles. My work explores not just color study but how colors create colors.

My art reflects the complex world, allowing unexpected relationships and events on the canvas through subtractive color mixing beyond my control. I value surprise in creativity, akin to social media's unpredictable improvisations. I remain critical of virtual and political realities dictating choices. Instead of focusing on digital media and AI tools, I demonstrate physical interactions between translucent colors and shapes. My paintings explore color relationships and spatial complexity, creating flat and optical spaces simultaneously with productive tension.

I consider my audience, especially those needing stimulation. My work generates action and uncontrolled color vibrations. As I construct my compositions, I ask, ‘What do elements do in my painting?’ and ‘What emotions do they evoke?' This introspection ensures my art reflects both my internal world and external complexities.
