About

Vasja Grabner is a painter, draftsman and designer born in Slovenia. He is a person with a very wide range of interests, whose artistic works outgrow narrow national boundaries, and within which universal values offer themselves for interpretation. Besides their indisputable artistic value, his works are adorned with the search for sublimity, the afterlife and other realities, which is a very rare phenomenon in the visual arts.
The emphasized presence of the basil as an indisputable symbol of spirituality and the contemplation of the inner world, a world that demands that we transcend our reality and find the answers to essential questions of our existence within ourselves.

Calmness, orderliness, searches for moments of silence with a realist approach to oneself, society and th e world; this is not only the artistic philosophy, but also the life motto of Vasja Grabner. His composition of symbols, painted or drawn in a hyperrealistic style, have an almost surreal effect. The combination of hyperrealism with the symbol constitutes a genuinely new, productive expression of a new era. This expressivity appears to be Grabner’s truly great contribution to postmodern visual art.
