Technical Review

How do you asses the artist’s technique in terms of colors, shapes, texture, and size, as well as used material, medium, and process?

I see that the artist’s portfolio demonstrates a confident and expressive command of technique, particularly in the realms of color, texture, and composition. Using a vibrant, sometimes chaotic palette, the works evoke an intense emotional and sensory response. The color choices are bold and often saturated.
In terms of shape and form, the artist embraces a gestural, almost sculptural approach to painting. The shapes are layered and overlapping, creating a dense visual field that can appear both energetic and disorienting.
Regarding size and framing, the chosen formats tend to reinforce the immersive quality of the compositions. They often feel compact yet intense, as if containing a compressed world of visual information.

Artistic review

What is the strenght of the portfolio?

For me, the strength of this artist’s portfolio lies in its compelling aesthetic of organic abstraction, a style that balances chaos and structure to evoke a sense of growth, decay, and wild beauty. The works do not merely depict nature; they seem to embody it, pulsing with vitality and motion. This approach transforms the act of viewing into an immersive experience, where the eye navigates dense, tangled layers of color and texture
much like walking through an overgrown garden or forest. My favourite work is Green-eyed Monster (Love your style, 11/9/24). The dominance of green tones immediately suggests vegetation, while the flashes of yellow, crimson and white hint at blooming flowers or sunlight filtering through leaves. There’s a tactile complexity to the surface, the thick, almost sculptural applications of paint that create a sense of depth and dimensionality. The layering not only contributes to the texture but also builds a narrative space where forms
appear to emerge and recede, reflecting the unpredictable rhythm of nature.
