Above are three pieces done by the artist Tin Salamunic. His use of proportion and overlapping to give light to spacial elements is quite effective in his pieces. His description of his own works are that he is trying to capture the beauty of what already exists opposed to gesture or conceptual pieces. Looking at the first painting one can see his use of clean, precise line work and overlapping gives a more representational concept of space rather than getting the point across through realism. It also uses color to convey the concept of space. What is meant to stand out at you or needs to be distinguished better because of overlapping is done in red opposed to black. When looking at the second and third paintings his use of proportion stands to be the main element in creating space upon a flat surface. Although the last two lean more towards realistic proportion the line quality and color still give it a made up overall feel. In his second piece there is a horizon line and a vanishing point even though the vertical lines are not perfectly straight. The second piece also is a primarily vertical piece, again, even though the lines aren’t perfectly vertical and straight. The last one in particular emphasizes on proportion, having the foot coming forth being the largest element in the piece. The foot and a couple of the pieces of snow/ice even protrude out of the painting, giving it a more lifelike theme.
