ABOUT THE ARTWORK
MARQUETRY DIPTIH - ENIGMA DJOKOVIĆ 2 Novak Djokovic vs Rafael Nadal - Australian Open 2012 Final I believe that there is hardly a person in this country, and many in all the meridians of the world, who somewhere deep inside, looking at the endless series of tennis matches, has not wondered, what kind of "Enigma Đoković" is this, what a miraculous combination makes this young man the greatest athlete of all time in our country and the greatest tennis player in the world. Through the profession I am engaged in, in the world of old and artistic craft, intarsia craft, under the auspices of unusual circumstances, I often asked myself that. Hence, all this, made in a specific way by the wondrous beauty of wood, is an attempt of my own artistic-craftsmanship response to that incredible enigma. Because, almost out of breath watching that epic, titanic and almost gladiatorial final of the Australian open 2012 and after almost six hours of superhuman efforts, watching moments of eruptive emotion of victory and power,at that very moment, in who knows what layer of thought, I knew that the motif I had started working on a little earlier, the motif of the power of the tiger emerging from the water, was a strange expression of the same, the same power of nature, the same power of the life force, the same triumph of life. And I knew that I had to and wanted to do that diptych, two completely different motifs of the same one - as a debt to the reign of Novak Đoković, something truly bright and positive in the crazy and turbulent times of which we are contemporaries. Used veneers - walnut root, elm root, wood veneer cherries, pears, cashew apples, madrona veneer, olives, elms, maples, bird's maple.. --------------------------------------------------------- video presentation - Enigma Djokovic https://youtu.be/ZTWzE3XpWj0 video presentation - Marquetry diptih - The enigma of power https://youtu.be/tqC0vobz83o
