Biography
Bogdan Pilatovich is a painter who has created his own visual language in a long, consistent creative process. This language has its source in the surrealism trend, but not only. Looking for the optimal form of conveying his reflections on the world, he adds abstract elements to surrealism and often remains in abstraction, while maintaining his own style.
This freedom in painting is very important to him. It is part of his personality, gives him more opportunities for expression and defends him against routine or copying himself. His specific way of working explains this necessity to freely choose the form of visualization of his own thoughts. Each of his paintings has a title! Pilatovich has created his own library of titles, which is constantly growing. His interest in the world, especially European culture, confronts him practically every day with small and large subjects that move him and that he wants to discuss through his painting. The creative process is very analytical with him. He chooses a title from his library and "carries" it with him for a period of time, considering the possibilities of pictorial expression. The next phase is sketches or drawings. After choosing a suitable variant of the picture idea, he begins to paint. Of course, in the process of painting he adds or reduces certain elements to achieve the optimal expression of his work. He always follows his instincts, which reflect his character and way of thinking. An important aspect in his art is aesthetics. Vulgarity and sensationalism will not be found in his works. He absolutely believes that important topics for humanity can be better presented in a subtle way.
