Bartos Saro - MIRAGE - Haute Pâte (Matter Painting / Matter Painting).
In the MIRAGE series, the artist creates sensually colored sculptural paintings with large accumulations of paint. In the process of "building a painting," the artist has combined the gesture of applying paint with its unique matter. He creates paintings of strong physicality with a sculptural, three-dimensional presence. The layers of paint are expressive, with a distinct structure. The base of the painting matter is sifted sand. In his work, he experiments with mixing acrylic paints, achieving an intense color or matte finish. He draws inspiration from views of nature and and music.
His work has evolved. From simple landscapes to more abstract, rhythmic depictions of fields, meadows, hills and the sea. From works of flowing drawing to MIRAGE, in which horizontal lines and vertical axes of the composition are clearly emphasized. The landscape aspect of his work became schematic, transforming into abstract symbols placed in specific parts of the composition.
