Olympic (2002) 绘画 由 Petra Farac

She was born in Dubrovnik ( Croatia ). After secondary art school in her home town, she enrolled in the painting course of the Academy of Fine Arts in Zagreb. She took her degree in 2002,class of Igor Rončević. She is a member of HDLU ( Croatian Association of Artists ). She has shown her work at several solo and collective exhibitions. Now she works in the Croatian Conservation Institute as a conservator-restorer of wooden polychrome and photographer.
Social and existential provocation and the message of these paintings and these ideas in Petra Farac are not just an imaginative illusions or saving alibi of innocent feeble person: this provocation is the engagement of a young person not bridled as yet by the compromises of the commonplace. It is expressed through the width and the steadiness of the painting motion which is as obvious as the associative metaphors and deep poetic elements( ability and great freedom of ideas, their associations and distinctions ) which form the source of these paintings.Basically, we have here conceptual works as the process of painting and the gradual working out of the plan of her painting, are the interactive media of transfer of the message. How else can we explain the clash of the neutral,plain background of the painting with the hard lines of the spilling of painting materials, their (accidental) spreading along the magnetic lines of gravitation and (the intentional) turning round of the canvass so that the colour flows in another (desired) direction.Or, how can we explain the clash of the crude sub-structure of the painting with the constructive elements painted through clusters or ( "meaningless" combinations), done very precisely with contrasting colours.
By emphasising the poetical comparison and the contrast which strengthen its function through anaphorae, i.e. by repetition of the same or similar forms and painting texture, (the constructive and the primary), Petra adds to the imaginative warp of the painting and the intensity of its message and searches in the visual effects which, at the same time, reaffirm the process and the hedonistic nature of painting. This is all happening in the times of art without paintings and objects, in times of art in which the meaning,the word,the witticism or the artist's behavior have almost pushed back the traditional forms of artistic expression. Therefore, it becomes even more precious, doesn't it? The preciousness to be treasured!
