It could be argued that a dwelling is not a home until you add
the final touches of your own. Probably the most effective way of doing this is
by including original works of art in the interior design. Artist Ernie
Gerzabek endorses this enthusiastically; he has seen many ordinary residences
turned into classy, visually exciting places where contemporary paintings on the
walls transformed the place like magic. Ernie’s
background as an Architect adds credibility to his convictions, also an edge to
his contemporary paintings. Drawing inspiration from the unique landscapes of
Australia, his mission is to create images which evoke aspects of the unspoilt
wilderness areas and the countryside, wetlands, deserts and Sydney’s coastline
in particular. |

Instead of depicting what the eye sees, he prefers to interpret
natural phenomena in a unique, surprising and unpredictable way. His paintings
not only encapsulate the essential elements, colours and features of a
particular place, but also recreate the ambience and the ‘feel’ of being there.
Often this process results in minimalist and abstracted images, but always
highly original, exuberant, vibrant and distinctive.
Ernie’s creations are not only playful and decorative, but also optimistic and
spiritually uplifting. His aim is to enhance home environments by affordable
original paintings, at the same time lift our spirits and relax after a hard
day’s work. See examples of Gerzabek paintings in
private collection settings below. |
