About Natalija Simeonovic

Painting for me is a central means for self-realization and understanding, as well as a way to achieve active and substantial communication with the social surrounding. By reinterpreting archetype images my aspiration is to actualize topics and processes that influence cognition and spiritual development, by simultaneously expressing cultural and political standpoints. I use archetype images of unity as motives for a personal reflection upon the traditional ideas of male/female principles through the context of the individuation process in contemporary times
