Oil on canvas

Informed by a variety of different cultures, Ostovany feels a connection to multiple separate and yet complementary mystical traditions.

He looks toward elements of Western and Eastern art, literature, spirituality, poetry and music to create an environment and a mindset conducive to his process, which is connected to Abstract Expressionism and Color Field painting.

This work is part of the Fragments of Poetry and Silence series.

The inspiration and the point of departure for this series is a poem by John Berger, Dream.
