ART in OIL

Focus to detail

Discover completely new way  of looking at art

Sebastian Vanzen has been fascinated by the structures  and forms of oil paint since the very beginning of his involvement with it. He did not look at paintings from  distance, but he observed the very details  with a loupe. 

This approach led him to develop techniques that create both beautiful compositions of colors but also enable the formation of structures never seen before in oil on canvas artworks. 

3D details in oil on canvas

What is so striking about Vanzen's abstract oil paintings? It is the details and daring use of colors.  The process of producing most of the paintings takes many months and many more years to dry before the final coating can be applied. 

There are no fillers used. Just pure oil-disssolved master colors in very thick layers. Some of later paintings have 3D details applied to them using several "action" methods developed by Vanzen. Selection of available paintings with 3D details is available at https://www.fractionize.art/oilpaintings

Universe in Oil from the 9th Galaxy series

After many years of experimenting with oil paint and the creation of many beautiful paintings of Gratitude (that's how he called his first series of works) he developed a combination of techniques that result in the most realistic and detailed oil paintings of the universe. Interestingly, his very first art piece was also a painting named The Guardian Eye. 

His universe paintings are so detailed that they are part of the world's 1st virtual reality project based on an oil painting alone. 

​

Each of the 9 oil paintings on canvas,  that you see below, contains so much detail, that we could photograph them from a 4 cm distance to produce many datasets for the VR team to create an in-depth immersive experience never seen before in the art sector.  

Choose the one you like the most to get your share in the project and be among the first to experience it!

The Chemlon technique

Vanzen developed this new technique during 2022 to further advance the 3D feel of his oil paintings. The technique uses large amounts of oil paint (as well as his 3D detailed paintings where much of the paint is actually lost during the process of creation).

This technique is used to interconnect all 18 paintings from The Summarized series that is being worked on in this year. This series will be created using all Vanzen techniques which will be connected using the Chemlon technique. There are few  stand-alone paintings created with this technique.
