paintings

The series of works on paper and cardboard presents abstract works, records in which relaxed acrylic painting and mainly oil pastel drawing prevail. One can read a subtle reflection of the reality of nature in them. A strong inspiration is the landscape, mountains, motifs of gardens, flowers, birds, fish, sea life, minerals. Drawings-paintings are supposed to create a light and ephemeral impression of a captured moment – such as the Impressionists did in the past. The records are fast, layered and a result of combination of different painting techniques. For some, paste paint or metallic paint was also used, but mainly a high-quality background in the form of paper or canvas.

Marek Ormandík unconventionally and boldly portrays classic themes while demolishing myths and familiar iconography. These are not noble shapes and faces. With quick, dynamic strokes of the brush, he lightly outlines his passionate, schizophrenic split naked figures and heads on paper. Not the detail, but the whole is important, the surface of the painting is eruptive, created by dramatic, juicy handwriting, quivering lines, traces of flowing colors.
