“I always see solutions in colour and I always focus on colour. Colour is the basis of all my paintings because colour is above time. I experience the correlation between different rhythms, shapes, textures, and colours as music. Every composition produces a certain tune for me. I therefore greatly enjoy working with the musical themes.” IVAN TURETSKYY

1. PASSION, 2019

“IN THE LIQUID STREAM OF TIME OUR LIFE IS A LABYRINTH. ITS COURSE RESEMBLES A KALEIDOSCOPE OF SHAPES, TONES, COLOURS, EMOTIONS, FEELINGS, AND IMPRESSIONS. BECOMING AWARE OF THE LABYRINTH IS AN INTUITIVE CREATIVE STEP THAT EACH PERSON MAKES AND THAT LEADS TO HIS OR HER INEVITABLE EVOLUTION. ABSTRACT ART IS A DEFINITIVE FORM OF EXPRESSION OF THE PROCESS OF KNOWING ONESELF AND OF THE WORLD IN THE INFINITE SPACE OF THE LIQUID TIME. ”

MY AIM IS TO DECODE SOME OF THE MESSAGES ON THE WAY AND TO SEE THE LIGHT. ”

The artist often compares his works to labyrinths of colour out of which a viewer has to find the exit. The way of life is a labyrinth. unique, bright, fragmented. With thoughts we are circling through the paths, looking for an exit or the center of the labyrinth - it is the very essence. We often return to where we came from. In the labyrinth, you can find no way out, but it is there...
