Andrej Zbašnik

Despite the horrors of the pandemic and the overall pain, suffering, crisis, and disorder it created, the pandemic did not have much of an impact on my creativity and creative production in a negative way.

I am on a disability pension and I do not depend economically on the products of my art, that is, economic profit is not my primary one.

The pandemic has deepened my sense of love, mercy, but also responsibility and compassion, as well as the fear I seek to turn into wisdom and love.

I create with energetic drawing, patterning and a spontaneous approach to the creative redefinition of the observed motif from photography. It is an expressive drawing, spontaneous, fast and energetic, abstract synthesis, a kind of stylization, without details and precise copying.

Through drawing in this work, as well as color, painting, I strive to express and express feelings, intuition, joy and knowledge of subtle energy frequencies of reality, where forms are not rigid but almost fluid, merge with each other, through a permanent process of flow, events , pulsations.

As I created and as I create those restless drawings there is peace and quiet within me. These restless and distorted drawings are probably also a reflection of my extreme variations in emotional moods, from elation and ecstasy, euphoria, to feelings of anger, irritability, restlessness.
