Description

Mateusz Beźnic | Bellona | Portraits – Beyond Recognition
Exhibition at Gallery https://mateuszbeznic.com/exhibition/portraits-beyond-recognition/

Bellona, the goddess of war in Roman mythology, is often depicted as a warrior with a sword and shield.

The abstract portrait emerges through vertical streams of white against a dark ground, framed by intense red edges. The composition creates a dramatic interplay between light and shadow, with subtle touches of yellow adding depth to the structured space.

The surface combines varied paint applications with strong vertical gestures, building layers through drips and scratches. The interaction between dark and light elements generates a powerful sense of emergence within the composition.

The work explores presence through dramatic contrast, continuing the series’ examination of identity through abstract formal elements.
