Everyday life of common people sometimes contain and
consist from many complicated stories,even more than
one novelist may think of and create.
Some of these stories are even impossible for the
greatest writers to pen down.
But,where the pen stops the paint and painter may reveal
what seemed impossible.
The way how Vladimir Prica ( fon: Pritza) tells us those
stories with his paintings is expressive. It is about obvious
and hidden moments of a day which could hide the
deepest feelings, doubt, love, memories, pain, happiness,
sadness, inner struggles, hate and even humor. All daily
riches of our lives.
The painter is presenting to us his painting opus as
metaphor for invisible heroes of everyday life.
Vladimirs storytelling is certainly genuine, emotional,
courageous in it's expression of it.
This courage is important because it creates a new artistic
expression and certainly is pushing the limits on the
canvas. The artist dares to form an opinion and dares to
analyse everything that other people see and accept as
normal and usual, obvious and yet hidden.
Vladimir Prica is showing to us all, what is going on inside
and beyond that what we think of as visible. He is using
bright colours and very obvious brush strokes in a way it
gives us the feeling of a deep, profound spiritual
presence. And still, all bright colours in his work look
harmonious and blue does not always look like blue. Just
as the word does not sound as one. This is showing what
a masterfull colour- scheme-plays are of a man who
knows how our eyes interpret light and shadow, light and
colour.
Without doubt, undeniable talent whose work demands to
be noticed and thought of.
It is obvious that Vladimir does not think of his technique
of painting when he works.
He is like a dancer who knows all moves and now is
letting creativity speak to him.
His style is unique.
His stories are new and interesting.
Here is a painter who does not follow any mainstream, is
not into the art of "fashion and trend setting", simply
because he is developing his own way.
A new path on canvas.
