INTERNATIONAL ARTIST STEFAN
FIEDOROWICZ COMES TO ALMIRO
GALLERY LIVERPOOL, UK
Stefan Fiedorowicz creates
images that embrace lyrical
abstraction and impressionism

assemblage of colors, he
composes a union of textures,
which serve to conjure
generous backgrounds that
support the foreground work.

Artist Statement for Stefan Fiedorowicz
Vibrant colours, powerful expression, and dynamic composition along with great imagination create works of amazing depth and dimension to intrigue and disarm the viewer. This is but one way to describe the paintings of Stefan Fiedorowicz.
Stefan Fiedorowicz is a Contemporary abstract artist from British Columbia, CANADA who began painting seriously 8 years ago and has been painting full time since leaving the public service in 2002, where he practiced social work for twenty two years. He is also a member of the Federation of Canadian Artists and has Active Status. Born and raised in Ontario, Montreal and Victoria, BC, he comes from a family of European descent. He works in oils and acrylic but prefers to use oil with scrapers especially for his abstractions.
“I make paintings that are vibrant in colour, vigorous in structure and abstract in nature. Life is good and bad, my work is about celebrating the good. There are two streams that I follow in art, one is abstract. It is rare that I make a purely conscious decision about what I am going to paint. I believe that the creative process involves imagination and getting in touch with the subconscious. My one clear aim is to use colours and shapes and to apply the paint in a passionate way which comes out of me as positive creative energy. The other stream that I follow is to provide the viewer with something that is representational “something that speaks out.” I think that making art is a highly personal affair. It is a relationship between the canvass and the artist. We live in a highly complex world so therefore painting allows me to look at subject matter that is simple in nature and bears some beauty. I am very grateful that I have found painting as a means of self expression and to know that the process of learning never stops.
During my university years, I studied the history of art and soon discovered my passion for creating art when I began painting colourful oil on canvas. My current themes: abstract women, European villas and cities enable me to use lines and powerful colours, sometimes being very abstract. My paintings have an overall gestural and abstract quality. Why I choose certain objects to paint and how I illustrate them is a mystery to me. I do not think about it too much. Certain objects are close to me because of what they mean to me or what they look like, their shape. I simplify them and sometimes combine them into pleasing arrangements. I like working over the canvas surface over and over again because most of the time I am not sure of what I want, especially my abstracts done with thick colourful oils and wall scrapers. For me art is a journey, one step at a time. One word, one drip of paint, one musical note. For me it has always been the journey and not the destination. There is nothing hugely complex in my abstract art. Just getting an idea is very exciting, as I think about certain shapes and their relationship with each other. I can see shapes, colours, lines, etc. and as I work I feel their need to come together in a composition. I will get a snapshot in my mind and the end result often turns out to be something different from what I first hand in mind.
My work is intuitive; colour is the language that I use to express what I am feeling. It is the interaction of colour that interests me. My style involves contrasting aspects of the simplicity of daily life to the complexity of the human condition. Hopefully my work elicits emotional responses and vividly expresses my passion for art and life.”
