BIOGRAPHY<br />
Uroš Paternu was born on 3. December 1972 in Kranj, Slovenia, Europe. He was already<br />
as a child looking for his own way <strong>of</strong> expression by drawing, painting and sculpturing.<br />
From 1991-1995 he was studying painting and he graduated from the Academy <strong>of</strong> Fine<br />
Arts in Ljubljana, Slovenia, where he also received the Master Degree in painting in the year<br />
2000. In the year 1996 he received the National Slovenian »Prešeren« Award for the<br />
painting »Wet living green«. And in the same year he also received the First prize for a<br />
postgraduate study from Ivan Napotnik Cultural Centre, Velenje. Only three years after<br />
graduating from the Academy he presents his first independent and comprehensive<br />
exhibition in Gallery Keleia, in Slovenia.<br />
In 2015 he was awarded with 2 Prix Award, International Exhibition Art Resilience, Musée<br />
de Peinture de Saint - Frajou, France. On their invitation he become an associate member <strong>of</strong><br />
the Art Resilience movement in France.<br />
His work appears in various publications and his paintings are represented in corporate<br />
and private collections. Internationally his paintings have been exhibited in Japan, Italy,<br />
France, England and Portugal.<br />
He lives and paints in Ljubljana, Slovenia.<br />
In these post-digital times when the world is inundated with visual impressions <strong>of</strong> flashing<br />
images, in their hollow and perpetually formative existence, the artworks <strong>of</strong> Uroš Paternu<br />
are like islands that attract the viewer with their inner content and open up new questions<br />
which allow the viewer to meet himself face to face. The paintings are like mirrors that<br />
reflect his spirit, they are an initiation into spiritual concentration and ethical attitude. They<br />
are feelings <strong>of</strong> everything that has happened and will happen, feelings <strong>of</strong> horror, peace and<br />
joy.<br />
Uroš Paternu developed his recognizable and unique visual language in the nineteen with<br />
the theoretical interpretation <strong>of</strong> his own creative process, which is characterized by artistic<br />
analysis and systematisation.<br />
The artist sees the art <strong>of</strong> painting as a way to harness his thoughts and to ground the<br />
objects and the world around him on the basis <strong>of</strong> a dialectic relationship between the<br />
spiritual-conceptual and the physical-material, which is established by transposing the<br />
concrete empirical matter into its visual articulation. This passage from the physical to the<br />
spiritual, from immanence to transcendence, from observing to seeing, from reflexion to<br />
catharsis, starts with the first stroke <strong>of</strong> the brush and lives on in the viewer's perception.<br />
4
Although abstract art is an embodiment <strong>of</strong> the artistic freedom <strong>of</strong> expression it remains<br />
bounded within the laws <strong>of</strong> the painting media. The fundamental structure <strong>of</strong> each and<br />
every painting contains the author's concentration, sensitivity, contemplation and<br />
experience, which are inseparable from it and trickle through its layers as a contemplative<br />
mystery which the viewer discovers gradually, not at first glance, but through a process <strong>of</strong><br />
perception, creative inspection and growth.<br />
The basic and most active agent and content <strong>of</strong> the artistic creation <strong>of</strong> Uroš Paternu is the<br />
color in all its range and dynamics, attitudes and relationships, in violations <strong>of</strong> the rules and<br />
freedom from them with an inner depth and visual form. More than the expressive or<br />
emotive expression <strong>of</strong> the morphological elements <strong>of</strong> the creation, Uroš Paternu favors their<br />
contemplative, universal side.<br />
He never uses colors as an empirical, associative, symbolic or evocative visual element,<br />
but rather eludes the mimetic and referential framework <strong>of</strong> perception. In color he searches<br />
for its dematerialized nature which in a creative process becomes a carefully thought-out<br />
composition, an echo <strong>of</strong> the artworks that resonates in the viewer's perception and gives the<br />
impression <strong>of</strong> being a vibrating living organism.<br />
His approach to the bare canvas consists <strong>of</strong> a ceaseless quest for new solutions, as if<br />
»hunting for prey« during which skill, deep concentration and determination are the decisive<br />
factors catching the eye <strong>of</strong> the spectator with an independent and perfected visual reality.<br />
The paintings come into being with either thoughtful or impulsive strokes, with smooth or<br />
rough applications <strong>of</strong> paint. The perceptive depth is created by sophisticated spatial cuts,<br />
color metamorphosis, internal segmentation <strong>of</strong> the color field and overlapping layers <strong>of</strong><br />
color, from underneath <strong>of</strong> which allusive images from the deeper strata surface into<br />
existence.<br />
Uroš Paternu can be described as a true virtuoso <strong>of</strong> color and its space in all its variations,<br />
metamorphoses and compositions. He is a master <strong>of</strong> perfection in actualizing an artwork to<br />
create a newly established harmoniously aesthetic order. »I want to paint living paintings«,<br />
he says and he delivers what he promises. His paintings are full <strong>of</strong> color dynamics, tensions<br />
and contrasts, characterised by a sophisticated or a robust composition, bursting into life to<br />
the sound <strong>of</strong> their own music.<br />
By breathing through its colors a painting becomes alive as a perceptive living organism<br />
and develops its own personality and character. A painting becomes and remains a »living<br />
painting«, the fingerprints <strong>of</strong> the painter's intimate and intuitive view and understanding <strong>of</strong><br />
the world.<br />

BECOME A COLLECTOR<br />
Art, at times quiet, at times screaming, whether we like it or not, is an eternal companion<br />
<strong>of</strong> human existence and progression; it is an expression <strong>of</strong> the spirit and the creative<br />
moment <strong>of</strong> imagination. Being a part <strong>of</strong> this culture, we can only be richer for these<br />
experiences.<br />
A work <strong>of</strong> art is not intended for consumersatisfaction. Rather, it is an artifact which<br />
grows together with the soul <strong>of</strong> the viewer, the capital into which we invest our mental and<br />
ethical views.<br />
Any investment in spiritual art bears interest in personal growth. If our gaze becomes<br />
conscious and deliberate, we become privy to a story, whilst we must not forget that we are<br />
ourselves the creator <strong>of</strong> this narrative; the painting serves merely as leverage to our<br />
thoughts.<br />
Paintings are like children. When they are not there, we miss them; and when they are,<br />
they attract us, they entreat us, they scream and cajole or they speak to us speechlessly by<br />
their sheer existence. Paintings enchant us with the colors <strong>of</strong> life, inner structures and<br />
integrated composition. They conceal a testimony which becomes individualized and<br />
personified with the viewer.<br />
The invaluable and original works <strong>of</strong> art <strong>of</strong> Uros Paternu point to the aurhor's<br />
inexhaustible power <strong>of</strong> expression. His paintings – masterful renditions performed within the<br />
lawfulness <strong>of</strong> artistic reality – are testimony to the richness <strong>of</strong> spirit and become<br />
autonomous fields, vivid images <strong>of</strong> creative thinking.<br />
The works <strong>of</strong> art, which reflect the temperament <strong>of</strong> the author, are an expression <strong>of</strong><br />
vitality and are in sharp contrast to today's empty cultureheedless <strong>of</strong> the questions on the<br />
meaning <strong>of</strong> life, the pursuit <strong>of</strong> order, harmony and aesthetics, which culminate in a<br />
responsible ethicattitude <strong>of</strong> man towards his fellow-men.<br />
An abstract painting requires that the viewer approaches it, that he stands before it – that<br />
is to saythe original not a reproduction. The abstract paintings <strong>of</strong> Uros Paternu allow the<br />
sopisticated viewer to enter into a world <strong>of</strong> self-reflection or self-interpretation where he –<br />
as a spectator from the outside– observes himself and analyses his own thoughts.<br />
His gaze becomes creative, his sensiblity awakens, a visual game is set in motion. Our<br />
imagination has no limits – we can imagine something which we have never seen before or<br />
something outside the realm <strong>of</strong> our immediate experience.<br />
At the level <strong>of</strong> individualisation a kind <strong>of</strong> self-awareness arises as a process <strong>of</strong> controling<br />
one's own thoughts. When our awareness couples with our memories, which in turn are<br />
bound by our experiences and culture, it is our thinking that we are able to control, analyse,<br />
direct and change. To be able to reap the fruits <strong>of</strong> this realization we should use our<br />
71
imagination to create new images and positive visualisations, which can help us in leading a<br />
better life.<br />
By using the metaphor <strong>of</strong> developing insight through observation the artist shows the<br />
perceptual ability <strong>of</strong> the painting to allow the viewer to bridge the gap between the<br />
subconscious and awareness. The painting accelerates the viewer's sensuality and<br />
perception and taking a different route leads him back to re-association and reconception,<br />
only this time at a higher level <strong>of</strong> consciousness whereby the spectator becomes the author /<br />
creator <strong>of</strong> his own perception.<br />
Paintings are like mirrors that change together with us as our perception <strong>of</strong> the world<br />
changes. This means that by way <strong>of</strong> self-awareness we become capable <strong>of</strong> feeling our own<br />
thoughts independently. And with this we can penetrate matter and change the world.<br />
A painting with its vibrant composition becomes an eternal companion <strong>of</strong> the inner<br />
dialogue.<br />
Think positive – think abstract.<br />
Imagination opens the door to the universe.<br />
And the universe is abstract.<br />
And the thoughts are the soul <strong>of</strong> the world.<br />
