The Unholy Demiurg: Valkiry – A Canvas of Inner Conflict and Liberation

In the intricate dance of shadow and light, ‘Unholy Demiurg: Valkiry’ emerges as a contemporary artwork, a 102x102 cm acrylic narrative that delves deep into the psyche’s labyrinth. This painting is not merely a visual treat; it’s a philosophical journey that captures the essence of internal struggle and the quest for liberation.

The central figure, a woman, stands as a beacon of resilience amidst the tumultuous sea of her inner passions, dependencies, and the societal expectations that seek to define her. The painting’s title, ‘Unholy Demiurg: Valkiry’, hints at the duality of creation and control, the divine and the earthly, and the constant battle between the two.

The use of blues and violets creates a backdrop of introspection, while the vibrant orange and yellow figures symbolize the emergence of the self, unbound and authentic. The abstract-figurative style allows for a fluid interpretation, where the boundaries of reality blur, and the figures, though unreal, resonate with a profound truth.

This piece is a commentary on the feminine spirit’s place in a world often molded by patriarchal hands. It’s a bold statement on the autonomy of the soul against the demiurgic forces that seek to shape our existence. The floral motifs in the background serve as a reminder of the natural, untamed beauty that thrives within each individual, despite external attempts to cultivate and constrain it.

Through ‘Unholy Demiurg: Valkiry’, we are invited to witness the valkyrie’s night – not just a mythical event but a metaphor for the inner battles that rage within, the struggle against the external influences that vie for control over our soul, psyche, and body. The demiurge may have crafted the body, but the spirit remains indomitable, fighting for its rightful dominion.

About this artwork: Classification, Techniques & Styles

Acrylic

Paint using traditional pigments mixed with synthetic resins.

Painting Pastel

Pastel is an instrument widely used in plastic arts. Taking the form of a colored plastic stick, it is composed of pigments, a filler (chalk or plaster) and a binder (gum arabic, oil, wax). We mainly distinguish fatty pastels (oil or wax), dry pastels, whether soft or hard. Invented in Europe at the end of the 15th century, this tool was very quickly used by great portrait painters of French royalty, such as Charles Le Brun, Rosalba Carriera, Jean Siméon Chardin or Maurice Quentin de La Tour, who will be considered the "Prince of pastellists", thanks to a method of fixation of which only he knew the secret.

Pastel

Drawing made with a colored stick. It consists of pigments, a charge and a binder. A distinction is made between dry pastels (soft or hard) and fatty pastels (oil or wax).

Figurative

Figurative and colorful painting having taken the liberty of including all forms of art without border of cultural genre and geographic origin, without hierarchy of values between high and subculture.

Technic Painting

Painting is an art form of painting on a surface by aesthetically applying colored fluids. Painters represent a very personal expression on supports such as paper, rock, canvas, wood, bark, glass, concrete and many other substrates. Work of representation or invention, painting can be naturalistic and figurative, or abstract. It can have narrative, descriptive, symbolic, spiritual, or philosophical content.

Vincent Vee is a contemporary artist based in the UK, with his roots tracing back to southeast Poland. His artistic journey began in a small town where he was exposed to the Museum of Folk Architecture, where he found inspiration in the old wooden churches and East European sacral paintings known as The Icons. This early exposure left an indelible mark on his art, shaping its direction and themes.

Afterwards, Vee pursued formal art education at the Academy of Fine Art in Warsaw. It was during this time that he encountered Pop Art, with influences from iconic artists such as Andy Warhol, Roy Lichtenstein, James Rosenquist, and Keith Haring. The bold, vibrant style of Pop Art resonated deeply with him and continues to influence his work to this day.

However, Vee's artistic talents extend beyond painting alone. He is also an accomplished photographer, specializing in fashion pop art style photography. Additionally, he has delved into filmmaking, leveraging his background in creating TV commercials. This commercial eye and appreciation for beauty, coupled with his love for pop culture, are evident in his artistic endeavors.

Yet, amidst the influences of Western pop culture, Vee's art also reflects a subtle infusion of eastern mysticism. Drawing inspiration from sacred paintings in Eastern European traditions, such as Ukrainian or Russian Icons, he incorporates elements of mysticism into his work, adding depth and complexity to his artistic expression.

In essence, Vincent Vee's art is a fusion of diverse influences, blending elements of Pop Art, commercial aesthetics, and Eastern mysticism to create a unique and captivating body of work that speaks to both contemporary sensibilities and timeless themes.
