Selection of mixed-media drawings created over the past ten years.
Gallery “Mali Likovni Salon”, July 2024. Novi Sad, Serbia.

In the works of mixed techniques, I experiment with strong and expressive gestures, sharp and playful strokes, coloured fields, and voids.
The narration is in the space of surreal and existential experience, above all in the space of deep intimacy! The drama of living and the drama of creating!

In the body of my art, there is a visible open sensitivity that I share selflessly, the drama of the world, lucidity accompanied by a virtuous play with line, space, colour and the infinite possibilities that can be created with the help of these elements.
The fundament is the drawing – present in my work as the basic formative element, the playground of the soul.

In the form of provocative visual protests and resistance, I tell stories that are not only personal but are also directed towards the world and above all towards human destiny!

A touching grotesque, empathy, and irony, always a dilemma and a question – Isn’t the darkness of the being an inseparable part of its light?

*The exhibition title is inspired by a sentence from Milan Kundera’s book “The Unbearable Lightness of Being.”
