We\u2019ve known each other for several years. We\u2019ve worked on some wonderful projects together, and I\u2019ve always admired your courage to look at things from a different perspective. For example, your exhibition When I Close My Eyes I See Blue<\/em> in the \u017ditomlin building, which lasted only three days, was visited by over 700 people. You don\u2019t use typical gallery spaces or conventional communication with the audience, do you?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Answer:<\/strong> Well, I love you! Let\u2019s move on to the next question\u2026 (laughs)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I believe the audience should always be offered something more, and the element of surprise is important. They should feel comfortable, relaxed, and free to enjoy themselves; to leave the exhibition with a positive emotion that will last, and make them want to come back to the next one with excitement. The audience senses when an artist has invested a lot of effort and love without calculation, and that is the most sincere, unspoken communication between me and the audience\u2014we rejoice together, without the pressure and expectations that a gallery space imposes. I try to stay outside of that system that confines and disciplines me\u2014I don\u2019t navigate well within that kind of influence. Essentially, I\u2019m a big child who never stops playing. I love freedom, spontaneity, and as few rules and restraints as possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You work every day. Your studio is a special, magical attic, filled with good energy and bathed in light. In that safe, isolated space, you create works that are personal, emotional, like a kind of abstract intimate diary. What do your canvases actually convey?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I had a strong desire to attend the Academy of Fine Arts because I realized that this is my path, this is who I am: that I can transfer my feelings and emotions onto the canvas. As an artist, I feel that I am constantly changing, searching, and growing. Experience is crucial, as is constant work on oneself. In short, honesty, love, spontaneity, colors, and freedom define me. The style I am developing is a part of me, part of my personal transformations. Everything that affects me personally contributes to the way I express myself. It\u2019s the need to change the space around me and make it alive, vital, dynamic. I am inspired by colors and emotions. The studio is my oasis, peace, universe, love, happiness, dream, moment, beginning, magic\u2014everything is there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Your paintings are dominated by bold colors, strong, voluminous strokes. The intensity of contrast doesn\u2019t settle, surfaces full of dynamics, joy, conflict open up\u2014everything is filled with ecstatic tension\u2026<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Every painting communicates differently with each viewer because everyone\u2019s experience is unique. I leave the story to the viewer because we are all different and perfect just as we are. Each painting is a materialization of the author\u2019s microcosm. The author changes, evolves, and progresses. I don\u2019t believe an artist always paints the same picture, but I do believe that every painting is a different chapter of their life. I don\u2019t start with an idea: if, at that moment, I feel like purple, I begin with it. Then it calls upon another color, and the process begins, sometimes lasting up to a year. When I look at a painting, I always know if it\u2019s finished. I don\u2019t have a favorite color\u2014I love them all and enjoy them. Depending on how I feel, one color may appeal to me more or less in the moment. I try to channel emotions through the colors I use, to create a positive, clear outlook filled with optimism. The process is instinctive, almost carnal. What I carry within me at that moment materializes on the canvas. Free, spontaneous movements that follow the flow and energy of my emotions like a ritual, like a dance that liberates or creates an experiment in colors, always leading to new discoveries of textures, pigments, and color combinations.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":1319,"template":"","class_list":["post-1954","blog","type-blog","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\n3\u00d73 Interview with Svetlana Ninkovi\u0107 - Fondacija Sa\u0161a Mar\u010deta<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/fondacijasasamarceta.org\/blogs\/3x3-razgovor-sa-svetlanom-ninkovic\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"3\u00d73 Interview with Svetlana Ninkovi\u0107 - Fondacija Sa\u0161a Mar\u010deta\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"We\u2019ve known each other for several years.
