Welcome to the Gallery of Stefan Begej, Mixed Media Artist

"My professional background is that of an engineer concerned with developing instrumentation, actuators, sensors and displays for robotic applications. In 2011 I started exploring the technique of 'flash sculptures', which are three-dimensional analogs of high-speed photographic images in which the disintegration process of stressed objects is captured and preserved in a wall sculpture format. High reliance was placed on the use of exaggerated or impossible physics to dramatically enhance highly emotional events, and resulted in an artwork series called Fragmentations. Examples include the disintegration of musical instruments played with excessive exuberance, mineral effusions from fractured rocks, everyday electrical devices made to suffer from unbridled frustration, sports equipment fragmenting from superhuman vigor,

and parodies of infinity and other conceptual abstractions."
