Peter Feneshi

My statements:
1.-Art is not a part of life but, a parallel existence with life.
2.-The possibility of displaying parallel existence, makes art
necessary.
3.-With these sculptures, I tried to materialize continuous
temporality.
4.-Self-discipline makes the movement expressive, and make the
existence to be life.
5.-Elegance is not necessarily art, but certainly erudite.
6.-The plastic space-time is the condition of life.
7.-Today’s visual artists are as confused as beginner
honeymooners.
8.-During painting, the plane of the painting transforms into a
functional space.
9.- If the visual art elements have a behavioral intention, the
climate of the created space will be perceptible, the interactions
between shapes and colors will become perceptible, and sens of
time will appear in this space. In such a space, our attention
moves as in reality, such a painting is an artistic work.
10.-The sense of time is represented by the rhythm of some fine
art elements.

11.-The interaction of the elements of the sculpture must be
perceived in such a way that we cannot actually see into the
space of the sculpture and it is much more difficult to imagine a
parallel space in the place of the sculpture.
12.-The sculpture is suitable for expressing a more complex
situation, phenomenon, or process, since different appearances
can be presented from different points of view.
13.-Cultural literature considers art to be an important
opportunity for self-expression. If we consistently look at
people’s activities, we can determine that everything a person
does expresses his personality, as long as he does not
consciously try to imitate others. I could not yet observe my own
self-expression in my own paintings. So why is there art?
14.-Through an artistic creation, we can observe, perceive, a
parallel to our own world, this moves our consciousness and
thus generates catharsis.

Feneshi paints in harmony with God and nature. His technique, oil on canvas, achieves refined simplicity, lightness, and grace. Using brushes tailored to his needs, he applies oil paint mixed with a siccative medium in deliberate, defined strokes. Each stroke contributes to the texture of the painting, making it an integral artistic element.

Feneshi modifies his brushes with scissors to shape them for precision. His method ensures minimal touches, each performed with care and intention. Every stroke reflects purpose and meaning, creating a texture that enhances the visual impact of the artwork.

He begins each piece by choosing a theme. In his 2009–2010 cycle, he focused on landscapes and still lifes. He photographs subjects with a digital camera, processes the images on the same day using photo-editing software, and adjusts them to reflect his emotions and vision. The processed photos, printed in color and enhanced with colored pencils, guide his painting as if he were observing the real subject.

Feneshi paints between two mirrors. The canvas behind him reflects in a front-facing mirror, allowing him to see the work from a simulated distance. This setup helps him spot and correct mistakes immediately. The distance between the mirrors can be adjusted depending on the size of the canvas.

He creates depth and perspective by carefully selecting rhythms and shades of color. The painted space transitions from clearly defined matter to subtle, living textures. The airy skies in his landscapes invite the viewer to immerse themselves in the scene, experiencing a dual existence—within the painting and the real world.

Feneshi consciously controls brushstroke direction and paint thickness, balancing dynamics. Thicker paint layers add energy; thinner layers create depth. He varies texture using brushes with specific shapes, densities, and hair arrangements.

He avoids a traditional palette, mixing colors on a glass surface over a white canvas. The siccative medium ensures rapid drying, allowing new layers to be added daily without blending into previous ones. Leftover paint is saved and used for shading, maintaining continuity in his work.

Feneshi’s creative process reflects a flow of consciousness, natural and deliberate. His paintings, imbued with nobility and serenity, offer moments of calm and infinity in a challenging world.
