Stefan Arteni
 
 
About the Artist

I propose a poly-contextural stylistic matrix,
the transclassic operational interplay of a heterarchy of
coexisting complementary artistic domains and formal systems, a simultaneous plurality of interwoven recursive and permutative differences which revels in the freedom of a horizonal in-between transcending untranslatable knots - a polyphonic monologue.
The West, the Byzantine East, the Far East
The form of the form.

Education and biography
Stefan Arteni, who sometimes uses the sobriquet Kyosen (Crazy Hermit), comes from a multicultural background. He was born in Bucharest and has lived in Rome and New York. Arteni was educated at Romanian elementary and secondary schools in Bucharest, and continued his education at Romanian (Bucharest), Italian (Rome) and United States (New York) universities. He has pursued studies in architecture, art history, fine arts, icon and mural painting, and the restitution and conservation of architectural monuments. He is also proficient in several languages and has worked for the Vatican Radio as redactor and art historian for many years.

From the beginning, a translocal multi-identiy web and a recursiveness of identity recreation, a being between and astride cultures and moving across languages and visual contextures set side by side, imply a second-order perspective, an experiential metacultural sensibility
