Themes and
style:
Rupnik is an artist of color. The color is the light of the material world that the artist seeks. At first it was about the achievements of the avant-garde of this century, but his artistic career is a continuous search of the unifying meaning of all life. Life is antinomian, and the unit must not destroy the diversity, ring personalities. So Rupnik color is pure, intense and often his paintings are built on the rule of contrasts between colors.
His art is precisely to find harmony, the fascination of the whole. So, very soon, in his non-figurative period, characterized by the spatula, the search begins pastosidad- eternal and personal face which is under all cultures. Study the cultures of the Indians, the ancient Slavs, Chinese, of early Christian art. In recent years, his art is resolutely engaged in a dialogue relationship between the fruits of Western art and iconographic art. It is a reinterpretation of iconographer standpoint, but with all the instrumental richness of Western painting of the last century. His art manages to unite tradition and modernity. Painting Rupnik confirms that the fundamental question in the artistic contemporary debate can not be exhausted in conventional alternatives such as figurative or abstract art. It is, therefore, to rediscover the art as service, as liturgy.
