The Red Line

"Stone" series is another classic series of Bonetti, similar to "Mosaic", it's mainly monochromatic, with different colours of lightness and purity, and embellish it with some other colours as well. But the difference is that every inch of the texture in the works is more delicate and clear, like the mark of time has been carved on a natural stone. 

Bonetti combines time with the world to look at everything from a natural perspective. In his painting, every stroke is a moment of time. When you look at the world from far away, you might see young and naive, but look closer, you will understand that's the precipitation of the infinite time. Every tiny element build the world and they are the important fact that cannot be ignored, just like every part of memories that constructs the life of the real world.

Bonetti was born in Bulgaria to a mother who was an art teacher mother. As an adult, he followed in the family footsteps and earned an art degree.

From his youth, Bonetti retained a taste for travel and discovery. He transcribes these images through painting in a process of destruction and transformation. His creative process is the result of several layers of acrylic paint worked with a brush or sponge. He then covers his work with resin so that the painting is protected and unchangeable…

From the classic painters, Bonetti retains light effects or detail work. In addition, American Abstract Expressionist painters (twentieth century) strongly influence his work, and Gerhard Richter (contemporary German artist) remains his greatest inspiration. 

Bonetti creates a new image in parallel with reality that represents the fragility of illusions and the ever-changing world. He leaves his work open to interpretation. His painting asks a question and it is up to the viewer to propose the answers.
