Artist statement:
The first painter I came across was John Constable, whose reproduction of ‘The Hay Wain’ hung on a wall in my room at my parents’ house in the Zagreb suburbs for 21 years. At the age of 26, having not yet found my true vocation I took up painting. My approach to painting is always intuitive. Nothing is planned ahead, not a line, nor colour; instead, I rely on the spontaneity and unpredictability of the final outcome. The very unpredictability of the final result is what I find to be the most exciting aspect of my work and it is the thing that interests me most in the creative process. My interests lie in autobiographies, interiors and intimate journal entries. I am also intrigued by animalism and, above all nature itself. These motifs show in my paintings, but not as straightforward and realistic depictions. I focus on impression and perception instead. For me, a symbol is more important than realistic depiction. I put emphasis on the story and its message, which I then interpret and express through my artworks. The transitions from realistic to surreal are depicted in simplified forms and weird and unusual perspectives. When choosing my motifs, I tend to opt for what things ”aren’t” rather than for what they ”are” and that is what makes me happy – a creation of some other, better world, a world that is much more honest and much more noble than the one we live in.
