Process painting is a creative act in which the applied technique points out the painter’s vision. It is perceived as a creative journey, a reflexion of the artist’s expression not only in the form of an image but also of the painting material itself. The creation process is an important aspect of the completed work. A unique technique is one of the elements of the creator’s individuality

Jan Astner SYNESTHETIC GARDEN Abstract concept
Abstract concept fully blooms in the paintings of the SYNESTHETIC GARDEN series. The artist draws on the vitality of the idea of bstract painting. The painter constitutes his painting in the modern and postmodern world. Jan Astner presents a high level of artistic awareness, which is manifested in mature theorization of his own art, as well as knowledge of the sources of its inspiration. Sensual abstraction is one of many conventions that deeply abstract conceptualizing traditional painting.
Jan Astner’s abstract concept weaves the idea of synesthesia into abstract painting. During the vernissages, the artist initiates multi-sensory reception. He does this in the form of synesthetic metaphors. The use of abstract concept changes the image into a non-literal message. Thanks to this, the viewer can feel the stimuli presented to the senses in any way. Color affects the reception of sound. Taste changes the perception of touch. Rhythm pulsates in visual impressions. Contrasts affect sensual relations.

In Jan Astner’s abstract painting, the use of a selected, closed catalog of compositional forms is intended to make the paintings unreal. Thanks to this, the painted images look detached from reality. The abstract concept of this painting is characterized by surprising combinations of colors, rarely found in nature. This is to inspire the senses of the recipients during synesthetic sessions. It is to arouse associations in combinations with tastes, smells and other stimuli affecting the senses of the participants of the vernissages. The idea of abstract art is characterized primarily by the fact that it does not illustrate any creation of nature. It is completely abstracted from reality, non-representational, and the form of the work itself depends solely on the imagination and personality of the artist. The artist writes the abstract concept in a form unique and unique to him. Through his works and vernissages, he wants to inspire concentration on sensory reception. He wants us to feel more with our senses.
