Velimir Trnski was born in Podravina (Croatia).
From an early age, painting has been his preoccupation. Having studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in Zagreb, he did postgraduate studies in graphic art at the Rietveld Academy of Amsterdam.
Through constant travelling he enriched his knowledge by getting acquainted with old painting technologies which he skillfully placed as a counterpoint to new materials and ideas.
Trnski says that he paints his own life. On his portraits, actual or fictious, he doesn't primarily deal with female faces, but he makes a contrast between the thick substance of colour and manifold transparent coats of paint. The drawing that functions as the skeleton of the composition, consists of lines in relief and ornaments, which are later covered by thin layers of paint or golden leafs. In recent years applications of old banknotes appeared as a new means of expression and exploration.
Trnski "glues" dreams and reality on the faces of his models, at the same time almost scientifically exploring the surface of the canvas.
Rational and irrational, past and contemporary, expressively wild in handwriting and photographically realistic, poetical as the smoke and fundamental as the earth is - those are the main characteristics of the painting of Velimir Trnski.
Trnski has so far had 87 personal and group exhibitions in Austria, Belgium, Germany, Holland, Croatia, USA, ExYougoslavie and France. Since 1985 he lives and works in Paris. |
