Biography

Janez Bernik was born 1933 in Ljubljana, Slovenia. He graduated Academy of Fine Art in Ljubljana 1955.

Bernik's revolutionary painting at the beginning of the sixties departs from traditional, popular themes in Slovenia. This style of painting which does not depict an object, involves either the emancipation of color or the abstraction of motifs of landscape still retained at that time. Bernik's work, however, departs from this tradition. The essence of what is painted is in its concrete elements, constructed independently of the external world, in the creative action of the painter.
