Exploring Painting Through “Pictorial Polystyle”
Watson Pablov explores painting through “pictorial polystyle,” creating works that vary in themes and styles while seeking to unveil the ontology of form in each piece.
⸻
Painting as a System of Investigation, Not Imitation
Pablov’s work does not aim to reproduce reality or adhere to an externally recognizable style. Each piece arises from what the form itself requires to manifest, meaning that formal decisions—line, color, composition—are consequences of the work’s internal dynamics, not of a predefined style.
⸻
Unity Through Process
Although his works may vary greatly in appearance—some figurative, others abstract or distorted—there is an underlying coherence in technique and methodology. Polystyle is not visual chaos; it is a system that allows a diversity of forms to coexist within a single corpus.
⸻
Ontology of Form
Pablov works with the idea that form has the capacity to generate its own meaning. The image does not represent something external; the form itself becomes a carrier of significance. This connects with his Ontointelia philosophy, where the intelligence of existence is reflected in how form organizes and manifests itself.
⸻
Flexibility and Structured Freedom
His freedom to move between different formal registers is not capricious, but a structural necessity: each work requires its own “pictorial language” to exist fully. The multiplicity of styles is not dispersion; it is a strategy to explore the essence of the pictorial act without being limited to historical styles.
⸻
Contemporary Approach
His painting goes beyond stylistic repetition: it is open, experimental, yet internally rigorous. Each work is unique, but participates in the same investigative project, which is to study form and its capacity to generate meaning.
⸻
In Summary
Each work is an experiment that shows how form can manifest and reveal intelligence, coherence, and intrinsic meaning, employing all the styles and techniques that the process demands.
