Life

Pavle was born on March 8, 1955, in Galanta, Slovakia, to Matej Pavle and Alžbeta Pavleová. He grew up in Prievidza with two brothers, Matej and Slavomír. He completed primary school in Prievidza in 1970. Pavle then studied engineering in high school in Tvrdošín and fine art at the Academy of Fine Arts in Bratislava under professors Dezider Castiglione and Ivan Vychlopen, graduating in 1981. He married a Fine Arts classmate, Soňa Oravcová, and they have two children. Since arts school, Pavle has pursued an artistic career focused on painting, drawing, graphics, and sculpture. [3]

Style and methods

Pavle systematically refers to several thematic fields. Figurative painting, nudes, torso and faces covered by masks characterise Pavle’s paintings and drawings. The representation of human body is further reinforced by emphasising the gestures, body shapes in motion and relationship studies of two and more characters. [2] A long term cycle Madon is not only an attempt to cope with one of the basic themes of the large painting of the past, but also highlights the artist‘s intimate intention to explore the world around him. Another major and repeatedly depicted theme in Pavle’s work concerns mythology, which is implemented in a never ending cycle of paintings about Babylon, as well as in other art pieces – fictitious landscapes and mysterious characters with animal features. [4] His work is noted for its intensity and distinctive style. Furthermore, Pavle cherishes the legacy of the finest artworks of the past; therefore he applies old and often obsolete techniques in a combination with his own specific artistic processes. His extensive work combines knowledge of tradition and respect for the material while also focusing on contemporary content. [5]

Exhibitions and awards

Pavle‘s works have been exhibited in prestigious Slovak and foreign galleries in Poland, Germany, Netherlands, Austria, France, Monaco, Italy, Thailand and the USA. In order to broaden his artistic perception the artist attended numerous creative workshops, mainly in the US and France, where he was awarded with the Jury Prize at the International Festival of Painting in Cagnes sur Mer in 1989. His monumental and intimate works are represented in many galleries and private collections around the world. [2]
