Artists Describing Their Art:
Stjepan Perkovic - Ive always felt the strong need to express myself, to connect with people and the world around me. During childhood, playing with toys, I developed the ability of using legs. Later, first unconsciously, I tried to find the meaning in my physical situation. Eventually I discovered painting. Color is the most important guide in my artistic life. I let the colors to live on my paintings and to lead me to the next level. For me color itself is the ideal I try to reach and communicate with the help of my paintbrush. That process is a constant conversation, starting from the first brushstroke through the reaction that colors induce, leading me to the realization of the painting. Working with children is also very important to me.

They want to paint using their feet and they are curious about the result. It is very important for me to tear down prejudices in those little people, help them to develop tolerance and creativity in everything they want to do in the future....

You bring together your sense of what youve painted aEUR" and hope that the viewer can feel some of that aEUR" along with, and more important, their sense of their own experiences mirrored in the painting. I love what I paint and have FUN expressing that love....
