ABOUT THE ARTWORK

In the “ANTIFRAGILE” series, the artist presents the portrait “Pablo Picasso”, which stands as a vivid example of courage and confidence in one's individuality. This work explores the theme of self-identification and personal strength within the context of societal expectations and norms.

The portrait of Pablo Picasso, rendered in a unique style, combines bright and muted tones to create a dynamic and expressive image. The artist employs contrasting colors and shapes to convey the deep inner world of the depicted character, his bravery, and independence.

This painting not only reflects the physical features of one of the greatest artists of the 20th century but also symbolizes a broader theme of self-affirmation and perseverance in a world often dominated by stereotypes and limitations. The “Pablo Picasso” portrait serves as a powerful reminder of the importance of maintaining one's uniqueness and the courage to be oneself, despite external pressure and expectations.

This work invites the viewer to reflect on their own identity and place in the world, on the strength of character, and the importance of personal expression. “Pablo Picasso” is a striking example of how art can become a means for exploring and affirming personal uniqueness and inner strength.

The series of works "Antifragility
I problematize the contemporary discourse on the fragility of the human psyche, on politeness and caution turning to hypocrisy - where is the line between these concepts?
I explore the oscillation of my own psyche between strength and rudeness, between rudeness and naivety. Antifragility is insensitivity or the stoic ability to cope with one's emotions. Strength of spirit is hidden behind the discipline of society.
I am building a dialog bridge from myself to the personalities I know. I do not want to copy their lives, I always remain myself, but I enter into a dialog with them, touching through colors the spiritual experience of older colleagues, phenomena or epochs.
