Robert Pasternak

Robert Pasternak (Nak) is one of Canada's most prolific and original visionary artists. He has strong roots in both Realism and Surealism and could be described as a metaphysicist. His Meta Figure paintings reveal glimpses of the hidden aspects or vibrations of the Human Being, showing the inner life in favour of the mundane, outer shell. Our bodies, he believes, are only the simplest and coarsest aspect of our Being. Our preoccupation with the outer shell leaves us with the illusion of our separateness from each other and the Cosmos.
