Stefan Fiedorowicz

Stefan Fiedorowicz was born in Canada and currently resides in Vienna, Austria. Having exhibited internationally including major shows in the US, Canada and Europe, the artists is predominantly concerned with lyrical abstraction.

His shapes and lines infuse his paintings with a richly exotic symbolism of style. There is purpose and psychology to his work, conveying a sense of confidence. Both bold and at times tentative, Stefan’s work serves to initiate and consequently capture an emotional response, soothing yet powerful. As a result his canvases are inordinately engaging.

“My work is intuitive; colour is the language that I use to express an emotion. It is the interaction of colour that interests me. When you change the way you look at things, the things you see change.'
“Abstract art is an understanding of a visual language, one wherein the viewer must interpret the quality of shapes and line”. Fiedorowicz’s work creates energetic lyrical abstract are with bold colours and superb textures. His sumptuous reds, vivid ochres and blues collide and bleed into one another; creating artwork that not only pleases aesthetically but stirs something tangible within the viewer.

Stefan Fiedorowicz, a Canadian now residing in Vienna Austria has amassed a most impressive resume with shows spreading out from Canada, United States and Europe. Fiedorowicz's work has often been compared to the great modernists of the past following the notable style of lyrical abstraction, a term meaning an opening to personal expression. While perhaps a compliment, this also seems a disservice to his striking talent.

“The emotion in my work comes from somewhere deep down, and can speak to the inner part of each person... My work is intuitive; colour is the language that I use to express an emotion. It is the interaction of colour that interests me.”

Fiedorowicz possesses something more than a painter following in the footsteps of others before. There is a supreme depth to his work that captures a newer sense of Modernism, something that is sadly missing from the current art scene.

His shapes and lines infuse his paintings with a richly exotic symbolism of style. There is purpose and psychology to his work, conveying a sense of confidence from a broad spectrum of experience.

Fiedorowicz’s distinction as a modern painter is in his grace and amplitude in creating works that are engaging and powerful: They make more than a mark - they make a statement generating alluring and fascinating canvases.
