Stanko Ropić
Born: 1962
Hometown: Maribor
Based in: Munich
Inspired by the study of "Goethe: Color Theory" and the art work of abstract expressionism of die 60´s I found my main subject COLOR. Since then the fascination and curiosity of color has decreased more and more. On the contrary I get a sense of the picturesque in the infinite nuances and action fields of color.
Incarnated in Slovenia and the first steps taken in the vineyards of the Styrian Tuscany. The small and simple farmhouse without electricity or running water offered very reason for a little creature so much nature, so much to discover. Then, with the beginning of the next 7 years I was socialized in southern germany . Since drawing was always a passion and my desire to become an artist was soon to be sprouted there in a corner of the soul – this seed is now bearing fruit in the form of Color Field Painting.
