Linen Canvas

“On the Way to Freedom” is a captivating painting that captures the essence of a moment filled with tremendous liberty and excitement. Created with a profound sense of exuberance, the artwork seamlessly combines various artistic techniques, an array of vibrant colours, and bold, expressive strokes. This piece reflects the unmistakable style that we have come to associate with Miroslavo, as it incorporates elements and motifs reminiscent of his previous works.

Adelante is an abstract painting made on linen canvas of size 35×27 cm. The painting’s minimalistic nature almost gives us the impression that it’s too simple to bring us any true meaning, however, taking time to observe the piece, we start appreciating the fine details. For example, notice the pitch black colour and the various layers of material at different points of the painting. We see thick texture at some while thin at others, and this is when the premium quality of the linen canvas is revealing itself to us, and we can start appreciating the melodic strokes of black. Also, we start seeing shapes and faces inside the piece, as Miroslavo’s art and way of painting mostly come from the impulses and need of the unconscious mind to express itself. The fact that it’s painted on brilliant white canvas makes a striking contrast between two opposing worlds, which in the end connect with each other. The artwork is finished with bronze splashes which have a certain lightness to them, adding extra elegance to the piece and breaking down the black-and-white dilemma. With that, we begin to decipher the artist’s intent and message to the view: keep moving forward and onward, an important outlook to have on life if you want to keep on living. Like the title suggests, Adelante!
