Lone Bech's portraits manifest a profound exploration of human complexity, ingeniously capturing the multifaceted nature of individuality. Each work is not just a mere representation of a person, but a narrative, a unique story carefully unfolded on canvas. There's an undoubted homage to the grand tradition of portraiture, where artists such as Rembrandt and Velázquez also sought to reveal the soul behind the face. Bech's work resonates with this timeless quest, yet her approach is distinctly contemporary, employing a diverse array of mediums and techniques that contribute to the distinctiveness of her subjects.

In my artistic journey, the fusion of economics, advanced mathematics, and abstract art is not a compartmentalized endeavor but rather a harmonious blend that weaves through the fabric of my creative process. These seemingly distinct realms find a common resonance within me, influencing not just the themes but the very essence of my work. However, it's crucial to note that these influences are not merely external forces shaping my art; rather, they become integral components of my inner world.

Unveiling the dualities of life, my art thrives in the spaces of light and shadow, loss and hope, defiance and compliance. I employ rich, intense hues that beckon while challenging, orchestrating a magnetic tension within each piece. A distinctive union of acrylic, chalk, and oil pastel ignites a confrontation of textures and tones, amplifying the potency of the work.

 As a kid I lived on and off with my Aunt who was a formally trained oil painter with a Masters in Fine Art and practiced in a high fantasy type of art with a lot of mythological themes in her works. I was always excited to occasionally peak into see in her studio and the progress she would make on rather large paintings. She was very into the renaissance period. I just remembered the scale and realism was always fascinating to me how she could achieve such types of work, it seemed you could almost feel the hairs on a head of a figure or the emotion conveyed in the facial expressions so clearly.

I'm an autodidact when it comes to LIFE in general. I'm curious and eager to discover, and reducing myself to an academic approach doesn't suit me. I've evolved with courage, hard work and passion, over the course of my life as a woman artist, giving myself the freedom to create my own writing and offering myself the challenge of not resembling anyone by not locking myself into an academicism or fashion. At the start of my career, this may have seemed inconsistent to art professionals, but over time it has become an asset of authenticity.

Contemporary Art, Art Review, Painting

Matei Vogel's oeuvre, upon contemplation, evokes a visceral response that stands as a testament to his profound understanding of abstract art's capacity to resonate on an intuitive level, much like the universal language of music. Vogel's approach to painting, with its deliberate eschewing of representational fidelity, aligns him with the philosophical musings of Kandinsky and the expressive force of Abstract Expressionists like Rothko and Pollock. However, Vogel's work carves a unique niche, characterized by a palpable tension between the visible and the invisible, the known and the unknowable, resonating with the emotive power of music.
