The Optical Art style focuses on the impact on the viewer’s sense of sight, not on his intellect or emotions. Works frequently cause optical illusions. Artists are using abstract combinations of forms, light effects, dynamic and textural effects, aimed at evoking the impression of depth and movement by vibrating the field of view.
Magdalena Dominika at Antwerpen Art Fair
In the digital abstraction works of the series “Verduras y Frutas” shown at at Antwerpen Art Fair, Magdalena Dominika combines hyperrealism with graphic manipulation. The artist creates unique compositions made of photos of everyday items and food products. Using digital abstraction, she transforms them into fanciful and abstract puzzles. One has to carefully look at her works to recognize the objects that make up the painting.
What is unique in this series is the creative use of everyday items. They are mainly vegetables and fruits – hence the name of the series – VERDURAS and FRUTAS. Magdalena Dominika combines them in such a way that it is difficult to read the components that make up the entire composition. Multiplications, reflections, repetitions, rhythmic volts. As a result of using digital abstraction, the compositions created by the artist resemble yantras, arabesques, meanders, grotesques and Arabic ornaments.
Magdalena’s works are not governed by the rules of realism. Despite the use of real objects in her paintings, her work is abstract. The deformation is so significant that it blurs the image of the prototypes. This is the artist’s goal – to break away from everyday life. Creating art from everyday life. It is, in a sense, conceptual art. The medium of this art is digital abstraction.
