About this artwork
Fictional portraits inspired by the war in Syria. Memories of a family that doesn’t really exist and never existed. A father, a mother and a child put together in a triptych. I searched for personal contact with these fantasies, a calm conversation about the personal tragedy of each one of them. Far from the horrors of war, as if we were at a confession one before the other. A conversation with phantasms asking and accusing, grieving and understanding……
Unreal collective images of millions of real human tragedies. I’ve tried to place them beyond the frames of being, associating them with Christian Orthodox icons which wish to be among us and face the viewer in silence.

« My reflection on visual art has developed in the direction of a transformation of traditional painting, from a classical method into a contemporary installation. »
Nikola Alipiev attempts to rethink the contemporary world through the layering and mixing of artistic techniques. The Bulgarian painter fell in love with abstract art because of its unpredictability. When creating he employs the ‘wet-wet’ technique with pigments and different oils on canvas. He enjoys working with light and shadow, as well as warm and cold shades to create an abstract world.
