Tibor Simon-Mazula draws upon his background in mathematics, filmmaking, and cinematography to create crepuscular scenes, often containing solitary figures within the structure of a room. Are they lonesome or simply singular bathers which occupy Tibor's canvases and emerge from twilight? The artist recently wrote, "my work describes a special intimate moment, when the figure is alone and able to emerge...;" into a nascent moment or from their physical "nadir," as the artist once suggested. No doubt they are metaphoric of moments of advent, dawning consciousness, the moment when something becomes evident to the mind and its subsequent bodily response. The artist's hazy strokes paradoxically veil and reveal the figures which enable them to transcend the particular to become universal and timeless. The large scale of Tibor's canvases make them impactful and help to establish a mood -- pensive, at times even giving the impression of melancholy or mystery, often enhanced by the sometime inclusion of abbreviated patches, creating deliberate ambiguity. His subjects seem to to suggest limens -- thresholds of their physiological or psychological response to the conditions with which Tibor Simon-Mizula has bestowed upon them. Like the Old English version of the word dawn, "dauen" suggests, Tibor's canvases seemingly capture that moment between darkness and growing light, in the rooms, minds, and bodies referenced in his paintings.
