On this episode, Caren Sullivan talks to artist Szymon Minias in 2022.

Szymon Minias graduated in 2022 from SETU Wexford School of Art & Design with a degree in art and specialises in paint and portraiture.

Largely an unfolding process of developments, Szymon sees painting as a study of “abstraction of the real”, where every element should have a life of its own when ruthlessly singled out.

On a personal level, Szymon said painting serves as an outlet to visualise his emotional reaction to the subject, where style — the appearance and relationship between elements inside the work – becomes the main language.

His fixations pay attention to rhythm, various angles of attack the painting can be observed from and the constant re-examination of the work’s presence.

Szymon was shortlisted in the RDS Visual Art Awards 2022, exhibiting artists from some of the best BA & MA visual art graduates from all over Ireland.
