À propos de l'essence de l'eau

Elle à l'origine de toute vie.
Sans forme,
Elle se transforme en quoi que ce soit.
Ne connaissant pas d'obstacle.
Sans parfum,
Elle a tous les arômes.
Sans goût,
Elle a toutes les saveurs.
Sans couleur
Elle les a toutes,
Guérisseuse…
… mais peut ôter la vie.
Puissante ;
Essentielle ;
Elle EST la vie !

The idea for this painting appeared unexpectedly. I was in doubt what would be the best way to describe water and what does it mean for humans and existence in general.
As I’m not a scientist, neither philosopher, but only common human being, an artist, it seemed difficult to me to create something that can be interesting and describe water in dignified way.
After initial doubt, I thought, water is something so essential and important for our existence, it should be possible for me also to describe it in some way. So I start to write down what actually water signifies for me as a human being. I wrote a notes, wouldn’t call it a poem, and decided to illustrate it.  The idea was to make some kind of illustrative narrative, telling a story of water's importance in 'one page'. Several illustration, eleven altogether, make together one painting.

Croatian artist living in Portugal. Since her first individual exhibition in 1997 she's been dedicating herself completely to art. She's been exhibited individually both in Croatia and Portugal and participated in numerous group shows. Her work is included in “Artist to look out for”, a publication released by the Starry Night Retreat in 2014. Through my paintings I want to interpret the world as I see it, feel it or think about it. With the interaction between colors I’m searching for new shapes and also to create a dialogue among them. My intention is to transmit to the observer different emotions, involve him into my inner dialogue. What is very important for me in the creative process of each work is to generate harmony. Even when I want to express despair, injustice or sorrow I need to find balance and harmonic rhythm. Although we live in a fast changing environment and being surrounded by suffering and most of us have had some kind of extreme experience, there is a kind of constant line witch extend all through human existence. In my paintings I’m not trying to imitate nature, I want to create some kind of a narrative beyond obvious appearances, the kind I can’t express with words or simply represent with familiar faces. My paintings are about people, even when it doesn’t seem so.
