Painting Style

Expressionism was a constant presence in his paintings,[1] but before choosing expressionism, he went through several phases including his White Phase and Warm Phase.[2] In the mid-1960s, Mazev started to include in his non-figurative paintings in muted colours and rendered in dense and grainy impasto with materials such as burnt wooden plates, glass, scrap-metal sheets, and sand.[3] In addition to paintings (mostly oil on canvas), he was also the author of murals, mosaics and ceramic arts.[1]
