Description of the Artwork “Subtle Portrait 18”
imiting the color palette to black and white focuses attention on form. The lack of color is not a limitation, but a tool for conveying meaning. Spiritual minimalism dominates in black and white forms, further emphasizing the unique character of the imaginary face. Each stain is a sign and has its own meaning. Simple forms allow you to focus on unreal facial features, revealing emotions and hidden secrets. Simplicity hides a wealth of meanings, and the limitations of form enhance the power of the message. When viewing Subtle Portraits, we experience a wealth of forms and symbols that lead us to reflect on beautifying ourselves and our surroundings. Subtly, we repaint ourselves, we inexorably become someone else.

Jan Astner, Poland
Jan Astner studied architecture and fine arts in Poland and the USA. He practices painting, drawing, computer graphics and photography. Recent projects come from the fascination of multi sensual perception. Paintings are elements of performances based on the idea of synesthetic metaphors – abstractly combined sensual experiences create individual feelings for each participant. He exhibited in Poland, France, Belgium, Luxemburg, Spain and Sweden. For 25 years he has been dealing with consultancy in the field of building and managing brand image. Lives and works in Izabelin, Poland and Jerez de la Frontera, Spain. Jan Astner realises his works in series that combine reflection on a man in relation to the world around him in the age of posthumanism and transhumanism. Using process painting and his own developed techniques in acrylic technology, he chooses the means of expression to present the issues bothering him.
