Costa Dvorezky is a russian-born contemporary figural painter. According to his artist's biography, his work attempts to expose the symbols in everyday life through the portrayal of the human form. While these symbols may be unclear at a glance, there is certainly a heavy emotional charge pervading nearly every aspect of his works. Overall, his style may be characterized by "dark and surreal" imagery but much of what makes his work so interesting is that it provokes the viewer to question the nature of the composition. Very little narrative elements are provided and thus the viewer must supply them. Personally, I find his dynamic compositions to be the most appealing part of his artwork. Throughout his entire portfolio, his figures are contorted in a foreign manners with a high degree of tenebrism that is shockingly similar to Caravaggio's work. Another inspiring quality found in his work is his use of running paint lines. These vertical landmarks break his compositions in myriad ways. Strangely enough, they appear right at home with his realistic figures and combine to create some seriously dark imagery.
