Artwork Description

Painting from my popular Puppets series. In it I try to convey emotions and with the help of symbols I convey the feelings of the people presented.
The surreal image alludes to our emotions ... loneliness, hope, love ...The events we witness, the atrocities of war, helplessness in the face of the present, we live in a world ruled by ruthless people, we are left to their whims, let us wake up from a nightmare, let us give peace and love a chance, so many times we went through the same lessons ...

I am full-time contemporary Australian painter having completed a Master Degree at the European Academy of Arts in 1997. I generally paint under the name "Max Horst". Exploring the nature of people and the relationships between them, my paintings are very often short stories of small,daily moments of life. I distill these relationships through simplified forms and shapes, developing my own code of symbols - a code which is constantly changing and developing over time.In my quest for simplicity and honesty I draw much of my inspiration from cave paintings and naive art, “because I find them very honest as a form of art”.Using oil, acrylic, watercolor, gouache, I may mix them with drawing techniques. Natural pigments of earth colors are the base of my palette. With an intuitive preoccupation with color, form and line my work belies a carefully considered composition and an appreciation of the nature of human interaction.
