Dmitry Brodetsky, 1976 | Surrealist painter

Dmitry Brodetsky (often credited as Dumitru Brodetsky) is a contemporary surrealist painter born inChișinău, Moldova (formerly part of the USSR).

His work heavily relies on fantasy elements, exploring deeply hidden emotional states, introspection, and a sense of underlying mystery.

Brodetsky describes his art as a necessary vehicle for communication, openly stating that he views himself as an unconventional being who refutes strict mainstream structures and societal rules.

His paintings act as a visual protest against the darker, unappealing aspects of the world.

To counter this, his canvases bring forth a vivid, playful spirit full of vibrant textures, unique linework, and focus heavily on themes of human connection, deep affection, and natural beauty.

👉 "Painting and art in general have captivated me since I was a child.

It all started as a mere game, but it later became a means of communication.

Painting is actually the only communicative channel still available to me today.

That's because I am not a social being, in the sense of taking reality as it is and simply complying with the prevailing, mainstream rules".

👉 "I am in constant denial of everything that's ugly and evil in the world, and my protest gains substance in the paintings I create.

In them, I strive to reveal myself to the world, to bring to light my deepest hidden feelings and states of mind.

In fact, I see painting as a form of self-discovery, but also as play, for my spirit is a playful one".

👉 "Being inclined on introspection, I can say that whoever looks at my paintings can get to know a part of me, they can discover my inner world and the journeys I take to explore it.

Many of my works contain fantastic elements, partly because, as a big child that I am, I am keen on fantasy, but also because the craving need for mystery and fantasy is rooted in the deepest layers of my being.

Now I am captivated and I am trying to introduce myself like a surrealist artist".

Dmitry Brodetsky è un pittore surrealista contemporaneo nato nel 1976 a Chișinău, in Moldavia (all'epoca parte dell'Unione Sovietica).

Attualmente vive e lavora a Timișoara, in Romania.

Fin dall'infanzia, l'arte e la pittura hanno rappresentato per Brodetsky un gioco che si è presto trasformato nell'unico vero canale di comunicazione con il mondo esterno.

L'artista si definisce un essere non sociale, incapace di conformarsi passivamente alle regole della realtà quotidiana.

La sua intera produzione artistica nasce come una forma di protesta visiva e un netto rifiuto verso tutto ciò che c'è di brutto e malvagio nel mondo.

Attraverso le sue tele, cerca di portare alla luce i propri stati d'animo ed i sentimenti più intimi e nascosti.
