Stefan Dolhain
Stefan Dolhain's "Poetry Paintings" encourage the viewer to tap into their inner psyche, a deliberate effort to dissolve the confines of individual ego. His abstract compositions allow each observer a unique and intimate connection with the canvas. Stefan employs an eclectic array of objects—ranging from familiar kitchen utensils to unconventional items like toilet brushes and even turmeric and pepper—infusing his craft with the very essence of everyday existence. This tactful incorporation of commonplace articles roots his creations in the familiar rituals of daily life.
Every artwork in this series is accompanied by a thoughtfully composed poem or title. This is a carefully woven thread that binds the visual expression to a distinct purpose. This intentional fusion of word and image goes beyond mere self-expression, giving the paintings a deep resonance and clarity of intent.
Embedded within Dolhain's creative process is an inherent meditative practice. He channels inspiration from his immediate surroundings and emotions. At the core of his artistic philosophy lies the profound notion that perfection is an idealistic and unattainable concept. This belief is visually manifested through the interplay of pouring, placing, and scrubbing paint across the canvas. This amalgamation of techniques underscores the imperfection that exists in all endeavors, mirroring the unpredictability of existence itself.
