Silent Sea 1 Painting

Anita Jokovich is an abstract painter who uses the ocean, sky and its surrounds as inspiration for her work. Her paintings are intuitive and gestural, creating forms that appear and disappear amongst layers of paint; allowing the viewer to be immersed and inspired by imaginative thought. The technique of layering paint to create dark and light are likened to the perpetual motion of the water and this layered style shows the contrasts the calm and brutal forces of the sea. Anita conveys an emotional intensity in her work through the painting process to portray divergent emotions onto the canvas. In 2015, Anita was part of the Waverley Artist in Residency program at the Waverley School of Arts. Anita holds a Bachelor of Arts, and a Post Graduate Diploma, both in Design from Curtin University, Perth and has an extensive background as a Creative Director for print media.
