Bio:
European artists in the late 20th century frequently explored abstraction combined with figurative elements, reflecting the legacy of modernism. Influences from cubism and expressionism are evident in the use of fragmented forms, strong colours, and a free interpretation of subject matter, where composition and rhythm take precedence over naturalistic representation.
