Nikola Tesla - oil on canvas - Darko Topalski
Oil painting on canvas - a portrait of the renowned physicist and electrical engineer, one of the greatest inventors of all time, Nikola Tesla [1856-1943], created by Darko Topalski - signed and authenticated by the artist.
Artist Darko Topalski was born in Novi Sad, Serbia, in 1976. He graduated from the "Academy of Classical Painting" in Sremska Kamenica, Serbia. Darko Topalski is a contemporary painter whose works are displayed in many important international art exhibitions. Topalski began his artistic journey inspired by the painting of Caspar David Friedrich, exploring different styles of landscapes, still life portraits, and abstract works. His paintings are characterized by impressive precision, a lively brushstroke, and richness, including meticulous details of the portrayed figure to the point where the painted figure comes to life and stands before the viewer as a tangible reality. The great Jewish painter Isidor Kaufmann was once asked by an art critic about the difference between a good work and a masterpiece, and he replied: If one can discern the soul and character of a person in a work, beyond their external form, as accurate as it may be in the painting, then we have a masterpiece before us. This is well reflected in the work of Darko Topalski.
His works reside with honor in numerous private and organizational collections worldwide, including the United States, Britain, France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Spain, Belgium, Japan, Ireland, Canada, Russia, Hong Kong, Sweden, Slovakia, Mexico, Serbia, Montenegro, and more.
