Anton Psak

Any artistic medium is not just an aesthetical object per se, nor it is simply a design product with a specific function. In this particular case, the main “functional” purpose of a painting is not simply to decorate a room or to showcase a particular subject, but it’s about sharing a particular point of view; the artist’s point of view, who shapes the images and subject according to a very singular angle, fuelled by life experiences and personal sensibilities alike.

Art is a very subjective matter and Anton’s work is no exception: his paintings offer an insightful perspective on his personal perception of existence, according to the artists’ very own and unique life set of life experiences.

Although very personal in nature, Anton’s work is highly relatable because of the characteristics of the content. His output is chockfull of metaphors, symbols and allegories that shape the conceptual direction of each artwork and offers a medium that the viewer can use to interpret and relate to each piece.

As mentioned before, Anton’s body of work is rather eclectic, and as an artist, he often dares to take chances and explore new territories, although oil on canvas can be undoubtedly regarded as his favourite painting technique. This particular format has been explored by Anton extensively, and this familiarity allows him to be fully focused on the most analytical and contextual aspect of his paintings, as well as experimenting with a really wide range of different textures, techniques, colours, approaches and genres. On top of it all, Anton stresses on the important role that the inner psychoanalytical qualities within the visual medium plays within his own paintings and works.
