Drago Dosen
 
 
About the Artist

Dosen's painting is conceived in the subconscious of perception,
more in the sphere of obscure recollections than in clearly-defined forms of reality. He develops the perception rather than accepting it as it is, and so the
form on his painting seems to be a late coming recognition of something once known but forgotten, something once loved but lost. His scenes take on the allure of a fanciful fabric of forms which reveals the intimate meaning of nature.
Remaining faithful to the shape of the subject, Dosen defines it through the
color value of form, thus achieving a calm but fluid and poetically-expressed atmosphere, an ambient of surrealistic space in which light lavishly showers
the subject. Then the temporal element insinuates itself into the scope of the
artist's imagination, flowing backwards from the present to the past in an introverted, nostalgic quest for the former life of the painting. More than being emotional
or visual, this is truly a return to the spirit, to the spiritual; it is a search for the
long-lost experiencing of the "painting", whose illusion now becomes reality. Remembrance or, more precisely, preconsciousness is transformed into a painting, the the object of our observation, but this again has a twofold approach, pure image and symbol. Symbolism, however, is the backdrop of Dosen's paintings.
The artist's imagination turns the perceivable into the poetic haze of the painting, into the form and content of a new reality in artistic awareness.
