Artist Statement:
Since the mid 90s, my work has
evolved toward the themes of
music and
childhood/adolescent memories.
My paintings often weave
mythical stories of past
cultures that influe
nced my early art work,
including references from
fragments of musical
instruments, iconostats and
folklore from the Balkans
culture.
The prominence of the music
and instruments as art objects
is quite
legitimate in my paintings. I
went to music school for eight
years where I played the
violin and guitar. I chose
not to become a musician
because my interest in colors
and shapes was far more
intense than my interest in
sounds. But still, shapes and
colors of instruments are very
much “music to my eyes.”
Many times I incorporate
collages of musical notes in
my paintings and
other textured objects to
create flat and two
dimensional impressions
Real and unrecognized imagery,
parts of musical instruments
and oth
er objects (related to them)
give me the upper hand in
creating intere
sting and spontaneous
“Jazz”and “Classic”
compositions.
Aside from music, Balkan
legends, folk songs, and rich
costumes have a
direct influence in my
paintings. I consider myself
very fortunate
to have witnessed a
mesmerizing (but now faded)
culture so far ...
