Maja Petrovic - Portraits of Serbian Soul |
 |
 |
 |
|
My paintings comprise three directions in the art: EXPRESSIONISM, REALISM and SOCIAL PAINTING.
On my panels I represent customs, culture and history of the Serbian
people. I do not paint neither still life, nor landscapes. We pass by
those on daily basis, we perceive their beauty and continue going on. I
think that our culture, history and customs are more important, because
they influence our life much more than the urn on the table.
At the same time I speak about stagnation
of painting as a direction of art, compared to the music or making
movies. On my panels I am not interested in using pure elements, and
then stop�thinking about them. I like to adapt those elements, which
are parts of every painting, or at least should be, to my needs while I
deal with particular theme or motif. Elements are less fundamental by
themselves, and the theme of painting is more fundamental to me. I
colour those themes emotionaly, in simple or in more complex way.
 I colour those themes emotionaly, in
simple or in more complex way. I represent my emotional view of the
situation and the emotional view of the people who participate in the
event represented on my painting.
