Internal Paintings – wood
If a painting usually comes into being by applying paint to the basis, by “Internal Paintings” I am trying to undermine this idea. I have deliberately taken over several forms of painting strategies, and I am trying to go against their nature.

“Internal Paintings” systematically work with the illusion of calligraphic painterly gestures, which have been vigorously applied to the basis. In my case a gesture is not created by a dynamic process. On the contrary, I have made every single gestural draught by slow layering of paint into a specially created environment of an assemblage.

This assemblage is in contrast to the painterly “gesture” in terms of material. It represents an environment for the painting, which forms the surface on which it should be painted, but in fact it is not the background. It literally usurps the front before the main theme and overfills the originally empty space. The structure of assemblages is often inspired by elements of Constructivist compositions by El Lissitzky and László Moholy-Nagy. The interspace between basic compositional components is completely filled with the remaining material. The aim was to create an articulated, confusing surface, gushing out a stream of the paint matter from its depths.
