THE EXHIBITION IN VILNIUS WITH SCULPTOR ROK BOGATAJ


"The painter Miran Kreš has mystical ideas about the world, which is supposed to be composed of the four elements: water, air, fire and earth. He bases his work on the cabalistic and alchemistic traditions he likes, but there is nothing in his art which is just allegorically narrative, sign symbolic or illustrative. Instead, in his pictures, which at first appear abstract, the artist achieves deep spatial effects, directed towards infusing or imbuing these elements and discovering light from the beyond, expressing his mysteriousness with a very studious treatment of color through layering, pasty applications, the spraying and application of varnish, producing a final effect in which everything disappears into immaterial spiritualised visions."
