Painter Marijan Loncar

Every work I start is an experiment.
There are countless layers to describe the evolution of each idea—each one unfolding in its own time and space. The process is an emotional journey: from the initial spark to the feelings that arise at each stage of creation, and ultimately the joy of seeing an idea come to life as a work or series.

I paint to create something meaningful and personal, yet deeply connected to the present moment. My work often reflects the themes I choose to explore—images derived from the human spirit, civilization, and evolution. I depict consumption, desire, and raw emotions like love, lust, and joy, blending them with bold social statements and vivid colors.

The result is a complex mix of images and shapes, with the goal of creating surprising associations. It’s a reflection of how I see life—full of contradictions, beauty, and unpredictability, much like the songs of David Bowie that inspire my creative expression.
