Pavol Blažek

Profile

He entered the art scene in the 1980´s and has since gone through several stages of development. He received painting training from prof. M. Rašlu / 1979 -1983 / and in graphics and illustrations by prof. D. Stopiaka / 1984 – 1986 VŠVU /. His inner turmoil and full interest in his work forced him to look for new forms of painting, he experimented with the structure of the surface, his exceptional feeling for colors led him to interesting color games. He went from early study positions through the landscape, constructive-linear conception, figural creation to the latest manifestations of imaginative to mystical pasty compositions in magical color harmonies, in which figural symbols are hidden, forcing perpetrators to try to unravel the story. Pavel Blažek’s paintings draw on themes from history, mythology, and legends, but they also respond to current events in the world and in our country. He pays close attention to relationships between people, especially between men and women. He likes to create thematic areas, turns the subject from different angles, spontaneous expressive expression alternates with a thoughtful to refined composition. His works do not simply show to us, they affect our senses. They attract the look of a magnet with their surreal color, sometimes relaxed lines, sometimes complex labyrinth of lines and surfaces. They provide an insight into the inner world of the author, his views, emotional tension as a reference to the present time full of chaos, a number of changes that we are not able to absorb. We lose and rediscover the path of our own being.

Pavol Blažek lives and works in Brezová pod Bradlom.
