Artworks by Paolo KOZMA

My paintings begin where performance ends. Every canvas is created through physical movement, using my body instead of traditional brushes. The painting is not an illustration of a performance—it is the performance itself, preserved as an object.

I treat painting as an unique live performance in which I am influenced by the music, the story, and the emotions that arise during the dance. My practice transforms the act of painting into a live, performative event, where movement, endurance, and presence become tools for large scale image-making.

Each work emerges from a time-based process in which the painting records traces of action, decision, and intensity I use my body as both instrument and medium, allowing physical movement, rhythm, and temporality to shape large-scale contemporary paintings.
