Statement I
have a strange relationship with people. I am at once fascinated and repulsed.
Fear and loathing with a joyful embrace. This duality in my at-odds psyche has
turned into an obsession, one which I express the only way I know how, and that
is to paint. When I render the human form, I am digging into the person, pulling
out what and who they are. I want to show their insides, for better or worse. By
pushing and pulling the paint, the light and the shadow, I am laying them, and
myself, bare on the canvas. It is my attempt to find the humanity, the
God-spark, in them, and in me. There
is nothing more beautiful and horrible and lofty and base as a human being, and
for me, no other subject worthy of deep exploration. I feel my soul in painting
the Only
oil paint will do for me. I fell in love with the medium, with it’s soft,
sensual feel and rich intensity of color in my first college painting classes. I
paint thin, in many I
am often asked which painting is my favorite. The answer, the one I am doing
now. The process of watching each work unfold, the moment when the flat canvas
begins to breathe, that is the fuel that drives me to keep creating. Thank
you for your interest, -M. Vlasic |
