Works

Rudi Skočir entered the Slovenian art world as an artist wanting to follow his own path, convinced that true treasure lies but within himself, in his powerful zeal to paint and draw beauty, balance, and harmony seen all around by his subtle eye. It lies in his visions which gradually and clearly acquire the form of an original artistic language, marked by the artist’s wish to depict human figure, although human figure has been depicted, created and seen so many times before, throughout the history of art. · Over more than two decades Skočir has created a rich opus of paintings, graphic prints, drawings and illustrations which prove him to be an original, searching and deeply reflective artist with a great sense of drawing and colour. Moreover, he continuously develops and enriches his style with a great deal of affection.
