Signature on reverse middle: "Fons Oceani" | Maksymilian Novák-Zemplinski | 2022
The painting from the "Spatium" series titled Fons Oceani is another attempt to search for contrasts between different elements and energies. The juxtaposition of hot red with the cool emerald of water highlights these opposites. It was also inspired by a fascination with volcanic islands. The rocks that make them up are a record of dramatic phenomena. Their solidified shapes and varied colors are ideal painting motifs. All this is tied together by an element of fantastic architecture provoking questions about time and place. The artist is very fond of creating his own architectural forms, which are associated with ancient civilizations.
Maksymilian Novák-Zempliński (Warsaw 1974, lives in Warsaw), studied at the Faculty of Painting of the European Academy of Arts. He received his diploma in 1999 in the studios of Prof. A. Fałat and Prof. A. Sadowski. He does easel painting in oil and acrylic techniques, illusionist painting and occasionally sculpture. His works are very popular finding a place in many collections at home and abroad. The key to his success is perhaps the atmosphere evoked by Novák-Zemplinski's paintings and the perfection of his technique in his works. Zemplinski paints using the techniques of the old masters, and pays great attention to the final effect and finish of his canvases.
