„Portrait of my mother Marica Balova and my father Risto Balov“, 2009 acryl on canvas, (0,95m x 1,05m)
For me, Jovan Balov’s portraits aren’t realistic or naturalistic copies, but they present this artist’s principle to unveil the analytically caused exaggeration of reality below the surface. His hyperrealism shows most clearly in the portraits, because he breathes life into them through his painting techniques, beyond all the inspiration photos, sculptures etc. could give him.
