About stefan:
Vibrant colours, powerful expression, and dynamic composition along with great imagination create works of amazing depth and dimension to intrigue and disarm the viewer. This is but one way to describe the paintings of Stefan Fiedorowicz.
Stefan Fiedorowicz is an abstract contemporary artist from British Columbia Canada now residing in Europe. He began painting seriously eight years ago and has been painting full time since leaving the public service in 2002, where he practiced social work for twenty two years. He is also a member of the Federation of Canadian Artists and has Active Status. Born and raised in Ontario, Montreal and Victoria, BC, he comes from a family of European descent.
I am committed to abstraction. Marc Rothko, Paul Klee and Hans Hoffman influenced my artistic endeavours. If I wanted to depict representational reality, I would have chosen photography, but I am a colourist, who uses color to convey something personal and internal. I use texture through oils applied with a scraper to depict emotion. I do not know what my fascination with oils is. It may be how the paint is applied and how it mixes so well on the canvas. My images originate in fragments of personal and cultural history. With allusion and visual suggestion comes artistic meaning. The emotion in my work comes from somewhere deep down, and can speak to the inner part of each person. In the spirit of abstraction, the perceiver is free to interpret each piece as she or he wishes. I’ve found that a good painting is one you can internalize, one in which a given element, or the work as a whole, means something special to you – perhaps in ways you might not admit to another person.
During my university years, I studied the history of art and soon discovered my passion for creating art when I began painting colourful oil on canvas. My paintings have an overall gestural and abstract quality. Why I choose certain objects to paint and how I illustrate them is a mystery to me. I do not think about it too much. Certain objects are close to me because of what they mean to me or what they look like, their shape. I simplify them and sometimes combine them into pleasing arrangements. I like working over the canvas surface over and over again because most of the time I am not sure of what I want, especially my abstracts done with thick colourful oils and wall scrapers.
For me art is a journey, one step at a time. One word, one drip of paint, one musical note. For me it has always been the journey and not the destination. There is nothing hugely complex in my art. Just getting an idea is very exciting, as I think about certain shapes and their relationship with each other. I can see shapes, colours, lines, etc. and as I work I feel their need to come together in a composition. I will get a snapshot in my mind and the end result often turns out to be something different from what I first hand in mind. I have been working on a series of contemporary European villas which have been referred to as whimsical wonky house’s. They are imaginative images encompassing rich bold colours expressing surreal qualities.
My work is intuitive; colour is the language that I use to express an emotion. It is the interaction of colour that interests me. My style involves contrasting aspects of the simplicity of daily life to the complexity of the human condition. Hopefully my work elicits emotional responses and vividly expresses my passion for art and life

Hello, Stefan..Just noticed, that Dancer is under your favorites..and not one of your creative works.. ;-) can see, I am not computer 'savvy' , and so eager to see your art pieces, did not notice in the exitement. Have to mention, all the favorites you have, are great works!! And do enjoy Dancer.Resonates also, since do sculpt myself..I go back to your collection now- and later on pay homage to the other great art works. Thank You. Luise A.
Posted May 7, 2008 10:01pm.luise andersen:
Hello, Stefan; Thank you for your comment on Duree De Ma Vie. Of course, I viewed your art collection right away-..stunned by the depth, dimension- beautiful 'light' and 'darks'- and the hues- can 'taste' them.. Texture !! Such a power of resonance within your art pieces. Also the sculpture Dancer.. You express movement- originality triggers smile..Great joy for eyes and core..and mind...Best, Luise A.

Ciao Stefan, è un grande piacere guardare l tue opere, sono molto distensive per me, mi stimolano nell'immaginario, in particolare non sono mai ruffiane, come le opere di un mio amico pittore che ama fare informale come te. Hello Stefan, is a great pleasure to watch l your works, is many distensive for me, stimulates me in the imaginary one, in particular is not never ruffiane, like the works of a my friend painter whom it loves to make informal like you

Hello Stefan, I keep feeling pulled back to your work. These beautiful abstracts - powerful, mysterious and fragile at times. I'll spend more time pondering them. These art the types of abstracts I love the most. So moving. I would imagion you feel akin to de Staël. Many thanks and best regards, Aliaena

Hi Stefan. Danke ,das du fuer freundschaftlichen Kontakt offen bist. Mag deine Arbeiten ausserordentlich. Irgendwie schaffst du es Raum zum schwingen, in Bewegung zu bringen. Und trotzdem wirken deine Werke auf mich sehr beruhigend. Die super Mischung von Power, Kraft und Energie, gepaart mit Ruhe, Leere und Harmonie, finde ich aussergewöhnlich gelungen. Konzentrier dich auf dieses grosse Talent. Alle deine Abstraktionen sind grossartig!

HELLO STEFAN, I ENCLOSE YOU A CONCEPT OF THE GREAT WASSILY, HOPE A YOUR REPLY.The abandonment of the third dimension, that is the attempt to hold the picture on a plan, marked in the design and in the painting the refusal of the oggettività is one of the first steps in the reign of the separated one. The modeled one was eliminated. The real object was pushed towards the separated one, that it represented a sure progress. But this progress ended in order to nail the painting to the material surface of the burlap, limiting some the possibility. The attempt to get rid of these physical limits, beyond for the interest for the composition, had to carry the abandonment of the surface. Wassily Kandinsky, the spirit in the art.

Thank you for stopping by and looking at some of my work. Yes, I was greatly influenced by Klimt in my earlier years. I think he still comes through every once in awhile. Autumn Dream is an older painting. I had it taped to the table for about year while I worked on it off and on. Large watercolors are time consuming.

Hi Stefan, I re-did the painting you liked called "those eyes" in charcoal. Thought you might like to check it out. I know of agora. I was asked to put stuff up there but couldnt afford their prices. Your stuff is great. Really. Wouldnt mind trading maybe sometime in the future....

I can't stay away, each piece hits right between the eyes and right to the heart. And I have NEVER liked abstract. What can I say, you are magic.

Hi, part of your biog really struck a chord with me "My images originate in fragments of personal and cultural history. With allusion and visual suggestion comes artistic meaning. The emotion in my work comes from somewhere deep down, and can speak to the inner part of each person." That is almost exactly how I feel about my own approach. Great paintings, I especially like "Dreamless Dream"
