Bernina 

Friedel Dzubas created this work entitled, Bernina, using bold brushstrokes and a vibrant palette. The composition is dominated by large, gestural sweeps of paint, creating an immediate and tactile experience. Notice the interplay between light and shadow, achieved through the layering of colors such as deep blacks, blues, greens and contrasting lighter tones. Dzubas's technique invites us to explore the raw materiality of paint and the act of painting itself. This approach aligns with abstract expressionism, a movement that valued spontaneity and the artist's physical engagement with the canvas. The semiotic structure here relies less on representational signs and more on the expressive qualities of color and texture. By challenging fixed meanings, Dzubas invites us into a realm where the painting's significance emerges from our sensory and emotional response to its formal elements. In ‘Bernina’ the emphasis on texture and color functions as a form of communication, reflecting broader artistic concerns about perception and expression.
