A. Mirko - Landscape

Landscape has always been a central theme in artistic research, both as a setting, as a backdrop, and as a subject itself. The naturalistic depiction of landscape has been a major aspiration for artists of every era. Each historical period has offered its own interpretation of landscape, contributing to the evolution of its depiction: first with an exploration of space, through Brunelleschi's perspective in the early Renaissance; then with atmospheric rendering in the sixteenth century; and finally with the depiction of every single vibration of light on objects in Impressionism.

In this work, artist A. Mirko creates a landscape that can be described as fully expressionist. Phenomenal reality undergoes a remarkable formal synthesis, and the landscape is represented as a collection of chromatic zones. The composition is constructed with a black line, which divides the landscape into bands of dense, almost material color. These bands fit together in a complex space, faceted like the surface of a diamond, overlapping plane upon plane. This is a thorough investigation of reality that draws on Cézanne but also looks to Cubism for its adoption of a mechanical, almost geometric aesthetic. However, the choice of color brings this painting back to a purely expressionist dimension. The cold, purplish hues do not reflect natural truth, but rather communicate an emotional state, a spiritual state.

As we can see from the analysis of this painting, A. Mirko's production is similar to the search for an expressionist stylistic register, which looks to Cézanne and Cubism, from a formal point of view, while taking inspiration from Symbolism and German Expressionism as regards spirituality.
