Contentwise
De Barac's painting is representational painting whose aim is not to depict the representational world. In a critical and satirical way, the artist deals with his environment, with himself, the past and the present. In terms of content, his subject is broad and includes debates on biblical topics such as in his 'Prophets' series as well as current topics such as in the works ' Amy Winehouse ', ' Karl Lagerfeld ' or 'Top Model'.
technology
His painting today is based on his numerous studies of the content and techniques of his artistic predecessors such as Paul Cézanne , Amedeo Modigliani or Pablo Picasso, as well as contemporary artists . Through the experimental examination and combination of various techniques and materials such as oil and acrylic paints, Indian ink, charcoal and pastel, he developed his own language of forms and symbols with a special quality of expression over time. His varied artistic work includes pictures and drawings, sculptures and sculptures.
