From the Clara Schumann series. The motive of the series is Clara Schumann's face from the German banknote which was an official currency before EURO in Germany and an unofficial currency in the Balkan countries during the 90's and a certain iconic image to their citizens who suffered under economic difficulties in post-communist transition and devastation through wars between former Yugoslav countries. Clara Schumann series of 10 drawings. Each was drawn individually without copying one another nor using projector to copy the image from the banknote. The amount of ink in the drawings resembles the situation where the amount of graphic color used for printing banknotes determine Clara Schumann’s facial expression – sometimes it’s mild, sometimes it’s strict, or almost cynical. Put together, these repetitive images refer to monetary hyperinflation that occured in wartime Serbia. Although they are conceptual, I don’t necessarily sell them all together, here, they are offered separately.

Serbia
I was born in 1973. in Belgrade. As my youth and artistic development were marked by disintegration of Yugoslavia, my native country, and by total decline and devastation of society I lived in, my artwork followed such mindset. Hence the themes and motives such as Clara Schumann from the German banknote which used to be an unofficial currency in the Balkans during the ’90s, and Visas, the actual travelling documents I collected from my friends’ passports which represent inability or a heavy difficulty for the people of this region to travel freely until just recently. Both Visas and Clara Schumann series along with the current artworks from the Hologram series, are treated as if they were some modern still life paintings, that is, as some painter from another era should treat classical pictorial problems such as light, color, drawing or composition, using, for example, jugs, fruits or draperies instead of contemporary objects that I use for exploring similar problems. Meticulous, repetitive, slow and contemplative method of painting these paintings stand in deliberate opposition to speed and superficiality enabled by technology in the contemporary world. Therefore, I don’t use any help from that technology, I simply observe and imitate what I see using my time as the most valuable resource.
