Slav Nedev

http://slavnedev.weebly.com/

Kunstart: Malerei
Technik: Ölmalerei


Statement:
I see a work of art as a kind of dream, a matter, which in its vagueness conveys what sometimes clear conceptual thinking, cannot communicate.

For me, the words of Francis Picabia “Our heads are round so our thoughts can change direction.” are absolutely valid both as definition of my work, and as artistic credo.

As an artist I have gone through various periods of interest, experimentation, and exploration of media and size. I always need to get involved emotionally and mentally with a theme, media or social, philosophical or psychological problem, in order to start exploring it through the means of art. Usually such involvement results in a series of works. Once my “visions” of a subject for that period or stage have been realized, the series is accomplished. After some time, normally years, I can return to the same theme with different tools and a different point of view.

Depending on the subject I am interested in, my compositional process can be quite spontaneous and intuitive or, in contrast, executed with meticulously planned preliminary consideration and preparation of every detail. However, the things I am always interested in are the idea, the principle, the type, and the symbolic of the image.

In this sense, even when I paint concrete objects, I am an abstract artist, as far as “abstract” means (according to C. Jung) to remove concrete details with the purpose of reaching a more general idea.
