“I paint the light that comes from all bodies”, a statement by Egon Schiele which is one of the artistic inspirations with which Kornel Zezula nourishes his work. The portraits of this talented young artist born in Wroclaw in 1991 and graduated from the Beaux-Arts in Paris radiate a sensuality that illuminates in a singular and intimate way the faces and bodies that open to the mystery of the other. Insatiable of an artistic culture which carries him as much towards literature, cinema, painting, sculpture, Kornel Zezula is imbued with the richness of the nuances of being. If painting is his language, it is because words will always fail to approach the elusive singularity of the depth of being. This other which irremediably escapes us, the artist suggests, between veil and unveiling, through an aesthetic which gives a glimpse of a part of this unfathomable and fleeting interiority. A play of transparencies which reveals all the density of the emotions which are flush with the skin of a face and the contours of a silhouette.
