Through intense colour and its quality I try to express pure basic human emotions, which play one of the most important roles in our life and decide about the most important decisions. By overwhelming huge surfaces of pure colour I try to create intimate situations where the viewer can stop, think and feel. The Relation “one to one” which gives the possibility to experience spectator’s own inner soul and be honest with his own feelings. Residing with some intense colour can provoke frustration, anxiety and awe, but still create some kind of pleasure and satisfaction. Confronting few different colours I try to avoid sharp edges and borders and smoothly change one colour into another by blurring all joints and compose one colourful surface of the painting. Two even contrasting colours can perfectly complete each other and create one sensible combination that can be really powerful and engage the spectator into its emotional play. I believe that through abstract painting or painting-installation I can pass and express all different kinds of basic human emotion, often pain, doom, tragedy and awe. The tragedy, which exist in human’s life for all the time but helps to feel the pleasure at the same time. joasti@yahoo.com
