STANIMIR GENOV

In his new series of works, Stanimir Genov starts with the generation of shapes and volumes in a 3D software. The digital image serves as a viewpoint for a landscape and provides the basis for the creation of a painting, in which all the spatial information of these non-existing environments is encoded. This particular cycle of the working process enables a dialogue between technology and the artistic imagination and thus constructs a personal reality, transcending the impulses of the surrounding world.

Stanimir Genov (b. 1982 in Sofia) has a BA (2002-2006) and MA (2016-2018) in Painting from the National Academy of Arts in Sofia. In the period 2007–2012, he has primarily been interested in installation, video and sound. In 2012 he returned to painting as his main medium.

“The main subject in my work are personal experiences. Placing myself in a working atmosphere built around the focus on small fragments of those experiences, I aim to re-experience them through the painting process rather than to describe them. This attitude allows me to somehow interrupt the logical path of my thinking and to enter into more surprising territories. I don’t aim to depict something but rather to amuse myself by what I’ve just depicted, so the result is more of a self-formed image than an artifact of the imagination.”
