The bend of the river Korana near Mekušansko polje 2021

Alfred Freddy Krupa created 'The bend of the river Korana near Mekušansko polje' using ink. It's a striking composition of black lines and washes against a stark white background. The contrast immediately draws you in. Krupa masterfully manipulates the brush to suggest forms and textures. Notice how the ink varies from dense, opaque blacks to translucent grays, creating depth and atmosphere. The sweeping lines create a sense of movement, mimicking the flow of the river and the sway of the trees. Looking closer, one sees a connection to Eastern calligraphy. The economy of line and the emphasis on gesture. This invites us to see the painting not just as a landscape but as an expression of the artist's inner landscape, a space where the external world meets personal experience. The river bend becomes a symbol, perhaps, of life's twists and turns. Ultimately, the stark simplicity of Krupa’s approach reminds us that art can be both deeply personal and universally resonant. It offers a space for reflection.
