Márton Barabás

ARTISTIC STATEMENT

My aim is to depict an ensemble of objects in planar form. Sculptures are the subjects of my paintings, and the imaginary space, the fabricated visual depth, and the sense of illusion grow around them due to their presence. The arbitrary task of creating an image brings me great joy.

Contemporary music affected me as much as hyperrealism and conceptuality did. The representative music of Steve Reich and Meredith Monk inspired me to create something similar in the field of fine art.
