A new series of abstract paintings by Canadian Contemporary abstract artist Stefan Fiedorowicz
These works are bold compositions painted in vivid colour with layered oils applied with his favourite artist’s tool, a wall scraper. Fiedorowicz creates crisp images of the “Tao” built- up with harmonious colour that add a dynamic quality to his canvasses.
Fiedorowicz incorporates values of astounding colour with harmonious balance combining hues of complimentary juxtaposition. Using varying knife strokes, he creates a highly textured surface where colour and form gives way to unsuspected depths. His work allows the imagination to wander in the undefined abstract world. His style continues to be distinguished by his bold textured knife work.

Stefan Fiedorowicz’s contemporary oil paintings contain abstract composition and effervescent colours. They resonate with depth and dimension and also resemble a stained glass quality. Even though the colours themselves are vivid, they are created as if beams of sunlight are amplifying their natural colour.
Along with being a colourist, Fiedorowicz explores the world of abstraction and displays his interpersonal through fragmented images. These images are cultivated through his experiences with his own life and cultural history. As reflections of his inner most emotions, he sets a foundation for his viewers to channel their own interpretation, to find their own voice within.
Fiedorowicz’s process of creation is unique and organic. He cannot pinpoint exactly where his inspiration of an object originates, but he focuses more on the muse that comes from the activity of painting. He has a connection with the process of painting with oil. He lets the texture of the paint from the scraper illustrate his emotions. He can paint layers upon layers on a canvas till the colours are thick and he feels he has achieved completion. This internalization sparked by his paintings separate Fiedorowicz’s talent from others.

Stefan Fiedorowicz creates images that embrace lyrical abstraction and impressionism equally. Using the richest assemblage of colors, he composes a union of textures , which serve to conjure generous backgrounds that support the foreground work. Quite often in Fiedorowicz’s work, yellow ochres and crimsons are touched with brushstrokes. Embracing geometric forms, Fiedorowicz invites the viewer to see not only beauty, but also universals, as his compositions grow into dreamscapes and his abstractions into elemental forms. Fiedorowicz also has achieved the rarity of venturing into vivid red and yellow while maintaining the serenity of his more verdant works. In his work, he renders his compositions into primal yet familiar meditations. His works are in private collections and public collections in Mexico, Austria, England, Canada and America.
