Untitled 

This untitled painting by Tiberiy Szilvashi is an exploration into the emotional and sensory experience of colour. The canvas is dominated by a field of deep, textured reds, which evoke feelings of warmth and intensity. Notice how Szilvashi uses the materiality of the paint itself to build up the surface into a topography of marks and gestures. Thin white veils are drawn vertically. Look at the contrast of this gesture with the overall density of the field. Through his application, Szilvashi is interested in how the semiotic function of painting moves beyond representation, as a way to invite viewers into an intimate experience of the work. Consider how Szilvashi destabilizes any fixed meaning, instead inviting us to engage with the artwork as a site of ongoing interpretation. In this way, the painting functions as a space for the viewer’s own subjective and emotional exploration, guided by the artist's carefully orchestrated composition.
