Through experimental procedures and precise and careful design, Aviani integrates materials, geometric structures, and light and shadow expressions to depict the vibrating textural image he wants to convey, as the work's glossy texture will continue to change as the viewer's perspective changes, it repeats and stimulates the viewer's visual perception and imagination.

Alviani’s prints had an independent existence, not merely transferring other significant works or subjects to paper. Each piece addressed plasticity issues, solvable only through its specific technique. Alviani sought optimal results through screen printing for color and black-and-white photo-mechanical lithography for line work.

Komart Gallery

Komart Gallery was founded in 1998 in Bratislava. Its exhibition programme focuses exclusively on optical, kinetic and geometric abstraction. Since 2001, the Gallery had worked closely with the Milan Dobes Museum in Bratislava. In 2011, the Gallery had opened its flagstore in Berlin. Now the Gallery is open to all who trust in the values of contemporary art also in Prague.
