Ljerka Jovanovic

My work is shaped by a gestural, organic approach to painting, in which movement and layering play a central role.
I build the pictorial surface in multiple layers that overlap and interact, creating depth and visible traces of a process that is intentionally left open.

I am drawn to the tension between stillness and energy. Meditative, restrained areas meet more dynamic lines, structures, or subtle accents, bringing a sense of vitality and inner movement to the work.
My use of color is intuitive yet deliberate—sometimes soft and reduced, sometimes more expressive, always guided by an inner logic.

Through this interplay of structure and intuition, my paintings invite the viewer to pause, look closely, and gradually discover shifting moods and details.
