Gymnast II

Miloš Hronec, Slovakia

Miloš Hronec focuses mainly on painting, but also on digital drawing and collage. He comes from Bratislava and this environment has gradually  formed him artistically. Author works with oil painting, acrylic, spray, drawing; he uses templates and hand print on canvas. His formal epression is based on street art, graffiti, pop culture, comics, primitive art, expressionism and collage. He is inspired contemporary photographs. From portraiture or figural imagery, natural development is sometimes abstracted. „While working on the last paintings, I was loosely inspired by the rap and alternative culture of the present generation. I was spellbound by the way of life, thinking, but also by the image and the visual that inherently belongs to him. Since I like this musical direction and thinking, I´ve transferred it to my work. The themes are based on portraits of people from the subculture. From well-known faces to ordinary people. My approach to painting was the same as music or thinking characteristic of this group. I worked freely, freestayled, experimented, did not ponder and analyze unnecessarily. I just had to enjoy my work and reflect on my current state of mind. My intention is to communicate with the contemporary man through painting.“ The author’s works are part of private collections in the US, Canada, Australia, Malaysia, Saudi Arabia, Israel and many European countries.
