The aim of this master's thesis is to interpret and study my artistic creativity in painting in the last two years.
It is divided into two parts, theoretical and practical.
The theoretical part of the thesis focuses on the values in art. It is the values that are supposed to determine the attitude towards art. Is art appreciated, irreplaceable, and needed by people of all eras and cultures?
What are values?
What are today's cultural values?
Who dictates them?
I analyse valuation in modernism and postmodernism as well as address the issue of different approaches in these two periods. I examine the issue of today's cultural values and valuation.
In the practical part, I interpret my own paintings and prints I have executed in the last two years. They represent a continuation of my morphological efforts that were previously expressed in my fine art prints. My artistic creations are based on expression through the non-objective world with the purpose of exploring my own self and influencing the emotional and intuitive side of the viewer.
Finally, I present an overview of my research and the conclusions I reached during my creative process.
The goal of this master's thesis is to justify my own artistic practice in relation to tradition by examining my works of art.
