Modern acrylic paintings

I find inspiration for any of my contemporary acrylic paintings in the current fashion trends and actualities. Check out my modern acrylic paintings “Selfie”, “Italian Silk”, “Damn, Where did I Lose My Contact Lenses”, “Inconvenient Formality”. I love combining design and painting – very few artists do it. This is why some critics say that my modern artwork is so confident it’s almost masculine, and I certainly don’t mind this description. When it comes to contemporary acrylic paintings, I don’t shy away from the dramatic effects, intensity, and anything that brings more power to my work.

Could you recognize my modern art paintings at a glance? That’s entirely possible. You can always pay attention to the thin and sleek coat of paint – I’m not too fond of multiple acrylic layers visibly sitting on top of each other, so I created my own technique instead. Notice large bold shapes and pure contrasting colors. I try always to balance design and painting most smoothly. That’s why I use flashy colors and decorative details to convey a vibrant pop-art vibe.

Looking back, I’m happy I didn’t choose painting as my study subject. That’s why today, I don’t feel stuck in the narrow academic framework of art and don’t play by the strict rulebook. The courage to experiment with shapes and colors also came very naturally.

Academy of Arts students often supports the notion that it’s necessary to wait for an impulse, for a creative muse. I do the opposite. I never wait for the inspiration to strike – get down to work, and when the muse visits me, she finds me already in process. In my contemporary acrylic paintings, there are no coincidences. I have a precise technique that I use in all my contemporary acrylic paintings. I thought out all compositions to the smallest detail – even the elements that seem spontaneous. At the end of the day, I always aim for a clear, proportionate, and harmonious creation.

The value of acrylic paintings in the modern world

Modern acrylic paintings are well known in the contemporary art scene. As opposed to the pricey and slow-drying oil paint, acrylic paint is incredibly versatile. Nowadays, it is heavily loaded with pigment – so you can effortlessly play with gorgeous, saturated hues.

I’ve been using acrylics to create my artwork for years. Thanks to its elegant simplicity, the paint is ideal for creative experiments. It’s not a high-maintenance medium, and the artist has full freedom to control its consistency and texture. As acrylic paint dries fast, you can apply multiple layers without long waiting times (and you won’t disturb the layers underneath).

Clients love acrylic artwork because the paintings are water-resistant and durable. And I keep enjoying a smooth mix of traditional and abstract elements that creates a unique contemporary edge.
