About Swift
A heart-shaped symbol in bright red and white crowns a stack of sculptural pieces in this playful abstract work created by Viktor Mitic. Swift was inspired from photos and sketching's he made of the paint marks found on the floor and walls of his Toronto studio. Mitic manipulated those images using a computer and painted the steel symbols in his signature bright modern colours—hot pink, turquoise, royal blue, white and a touch of 24 kt. gold plate.“I would go back and forth between paper and computer and at one point I would paint them in vibrant contrasting colors. I would look for something in color and in shapes that would make the whole structure dynamic and live.” Viktor Mitic

He has exhibited his post-Pop inspired paintings, prints and colourful abstract sculptures at the Muramatsu Gallery in Tokyo, The Armory Show in NYC, Art Chicago and in Toronto. His work is held in corporate, private, and public collections.
