Still young. Still ferocious. Still cool and still fresh.
Yes.

While working on these paintings, I was loosely inspired by the rap and alternative culture of the present generation.
I was inspired by a way of life, thinking, but also by an image and a visual that inherently belongs to him.
Since I like this musical direction and thinking, I´ve transferred it to my work.

The themes are based on portraits of people from the subculture. From well known faces to ordinary people.

My approach to painting was the same as music or thinking characteristic of this group. I worked freely, freestayled, experimented, did not ponder and analyze unnecessarily. I just had to enjoy my work and reflect on my current state of mind.

Miloš Hronec focuses mainly on painting, but also on digital drawing and collage. He comes from Bratislava and this environment has gradually formed him artistically.

Author works with oil painting, acrylic, spray, drawing; he uses templates and hand print on canvas.

His formal epression is based on street art, graffiti, pop culture, comics, primitive art, expressionism and collage.
He is inspired by old paintings, historical and contemporary photographs. From portraiture or figural imagery, natural development is sometimes abstracted. Currently his work links together opposites or, at first glance, unrelated fragments.

And on the content page, when combines materialism, consumerism and luxury in opposition to our vulnerability, lack of meaning and utter definitiveness with visuality while combining cultivated surfaces, pop culture and comic elements with expressive, almost abstract components.

His aim is to comunicate with the contemporary man through painting.

The author’s works are part of private collections in the US, Canada, Australia, Malaysia, Saudi Arabia, Israel and many European countries.
