"My BASIC PROPOSING - PROGRAM OF MY WHOLE LIFE IS REVEALED IN A WORKING PROCESS, REGISTERING A PROGRESSION, WHICH IS SIMULTANEOUSLY A DOCUMENT FOR TIME AND ITS DEFINITION."

IN HIS ENTIRE CREATIVE WORK BECARELLI. DEDICATES HIMSELF TO WRITING AND PAINTING, BEING TRUE TO BIG FORMATS, THOSE CORRESPONDING TO GESTURES MADE BY TOTAL BODY. IN HIS PAINTINGS A STREAM OF COLORS FREES AS A STORM AT THE END OF SUMMER, AS A BIG RIVER RUNNING INTO SEA....

"I HAVE NEVER OBSSESSED COLOR AND IT CONQUERS ME ALL THE TIME. THESE STREAMS OF COLORS ARE AS ONE REFLECTION OF LIGHT ON THE SURFACE - ELUSIVE AND SENSUAL ACT."

WE LOOK AT YOUR PICTURES AND SOMETHING EVIDENTLY PREVAILS. YOU OFTEN USE BLACK COLOR. WHY ?

"THESE ARE PICTURES, PAINTED WITH BLACK COLOR, YES BUT I MAKE THEM IN VARIOUS TONES, THE SAME BORN BY LIGHT.
WHEN I PAINT THESE TONES WHICH CHANGE BEFORE MY GLANCE, THE DECISIONS ARISE."

ISN'T STRANGE TO A CERTAIN EXTENT, THAT YOU WANT TO EXTRACT LIGHT FROM BLACK COLOR, WHICH IS MOST FAR FROM LIGHT ?

"IT MAY SEEM STRANGELY BUT I DON'T UNDERSTAND THINGS THIS WAY.THIS COLOR IS A DARK UNIFORMITY AND EFFICACIOUS MEANS FOR ACHIEVING A CONTRAST, BUT HE HOLDS AND CREATES A PECULIAR TYPE OF LIGHT AND SPACE."

TRACES COVER THE SURFACE OF THE PICTURE AND ALL ARE IN VARIOUS DIRECTIONS.

"EXACTLY THEY GIVE A DYNAMIC CHARACTER OF THE SURFACE. THEY DON'T HAVE ANYTHING WITH THE MECHANICAL PRECISION OF THE CREST USED BY THE CUBISTS. HERE SMOOTH SURFACES CONTRAST TO GROOVES, FLUENTLY PAINTED HUES, INTERAPTINGS AND CALMLINESS, AND ALL THIS HAS A DEFINITE RHYTHM. BY THE WAY BUILDING OF A PICTURE DEPENDS ON GROOVES DIRECTION, UNEVENNESS OF THE MATERIAL. DEPENDING ON FALLING LIGHT AND THE SPOT WE LOOK AT THE PICTURE FROM, SOME LIGHTS SURFACES LOOK DARK AND THE OPPOSITE, BUT ALWAYS IN THE SAME ORDER OR DISORDER, CHARACTERISTIC FOR THE PICTURE. THE ACTS OF TENSION, EQUILIBRIUM, DYNAMIC RHYTHM ARE AVAILABLE, THE PICTURE COMES INTO BEING UNDER THE LOOK EVEN AT THE MOMENT OF THE LOOKING ITSELF."

THUS YOU MAKE OUT OF SIMPLE ELEMENTS ONE THING RICH OF BIG STRENGTH.

"EXACTLY THESE SIMPLE ELEMENTS COME OUT OF THIS DESIRE FOR STRENGTH. THE STRENGTH APPEARING OUT OF THIS DESIRE IS DIFFERENT THAN WHAT ARISES FROM DIVERSITY. IT HAS ANOTHER MEANING."

MAY IT BE SAID THAT SIMPLICITY GOES WITH A CERTAIN STRICTNESS ?

"IF REFERRING TO SOME OF MY PICTURES WE HAVE BOUND TOGETHER SIMPLICITY AND STRICTNESS BY THEIR MEANING THEN WE MIGHT SPEAK ABOUT RICHNESS AND SENSUALITY. IT DEPENDS ON THE AUDIENCE AS WELL."

DOES A PRICTURE COMPULSORY NEED THE LOOK OF THE OTHER MAN, AND MEETING HIS SENSITIVITY ?

"WHEN I PAINT I EXPRESS MYSELF AND VIEWS BUT IN THE MEANING OF ART I MAKE, WHICH IS ADDRESSED TO OTHER PEOPLE. I EXPOSE MY ART BECAUSE I OBVIOUSLY WANT IT TO BE LOOKED AT. THE AUDIENCE IS ITS FREE AND NECESSARY INTERPRETOR".

THE PICTURE ONCE EXPOSED AT THE AUDIENCE LOOK BEGINS ITS TRUE LIFE. THUS IT BECOMES /FIRST FOR ME/ SOMETHING DIFFERENT FROM WHAT IT HAS BEEN BEFORE. ONE PICTURE LIFE IS DEFINED BY OTHERS WHO LOOK AT IT.

BECARELLI'S ARTISTIC WORLD

===========================================================

Honestly, I have never heard about BECARELLI COUNT DUSSI, till the moment I had the chance to come upon two volumetric photo-albums of his art. The most stunning about them, was their strange sounding and also the expressionism, which seems to be one of the most adequate methods for being in touch with the harsh disasters, characterizing our modern times and the deep state of human mind. His bold red-and-black paintings have a specifically dramatic expression and show the author’s sensuality and vulnerability.
In addition, they gave the idea of lyric, so typical for the painters from Burgas. According to STOYAN BECARELLI, he is a painter from Burgas,although he was born in Sofia. The sea, the artistic atmosphere of Burgas, where he spent his
childhood, gave a considerably reflection to his works.
As a result of it, the brave author, by the means of his
art, holds the idea, looking for some new and unconventional ways in art, giving to him more freedom, but also more self-confidence of the artist, legalizing the aesthetic standards of his time. A few young painters have clear artistic tendency to follow.BECARELLI - THE ARTIST definitely has got. The idea of his art aims not to create the visible, but to create a world of his own, subordinated to its own rules an visions. According to the painter, contemporary art is too much devoted to studio, and by being set aside from people, has become unrealized.
"To make an art is a gift: for all of us, but most of all for love and beauty, and true people's relationships." - the painter says. And a matter of fact, understanding BECARELLI'S ART , we can feel this unifying moment, which like a nerve, goes through every painting of his. Titles like "Bridges of Tame" " Depths and Lays Red " " Going into the nature of Sun " etc, gives his themes a philosophical tang. The coloring, coming from the dark to black tunes, to the "singing" red-going above all, creates a spirit of
mysticism. If we look at each one of his paintings and their spontaneous compositions, we will see with few exceptions, where the human figure is slightly hinted, the author has set great store by pure abstraction in images, showing out his thoughts and ruminations. That point of wiev brings the drama and intention in his paintings, which is most of all as a commodity of his intuition, than of his thesis. From that point of wiev only, we are able to realize the depth of his paintings. It is not synonymous at all and could be taken not only like a from of art, but also like a philosophy. Because, according to the painter- " The role of art is to bring us goodness, to ask questions, but absolutely not to bring us negative emotions ".BECARELLI'S ART gives the matter of thinking about
the intimacy and contrast with traditions, about the way and searching of the young generation of painters, about finding an area and a re-echo for their art in our modern society.
Bright, strong, expressive are the paintings of BECARELLI. They reveal a lightning of feelings, emotions,
creative temperament, as well as genuine sincerity,
confession of a creator with clearly built up ideological
parameters and program; an incredible harmony of youth
energy and discipline.
BECARELLI is of the young generation of painters for
whom the art is not only an aesthetic need. It is first of
all a herald of fresh ideas in the society. That is why his
paintings hide an original cipher provoking the spectator to spiritual brightness and ideological tolerance.
In the town of Burgas where in the studio of the painter his paintings come into the world one after another and he
demonstrates high technical exactingness, creative
self-confidence and succession in developing his
ideas.Without being comprehensive he outlines the theme as
an art suggestion only and invites the spectator to accept
and develop it, to participate in the creative act by
himself. In his newest creation the painter works out the theme "War and Peace" in its visible and hidden side. It is about the unbridled aggression of war and the quiet humbleness and inside peace of man bearing creativeness and harmony.
