Today, I am finally writing a bit in this Almost forgotten art blog of mine. I think the main reason I don't write too much is the privacy issue. And the funny thing is, we write blogs, exActly for the reason of being read. But somehow, knowing there is someone reading it for the wrong reasons puts a damper on the creative pleasure of writing. Today's exhibit of Vlada Velickovic's works has re-sparked my urge to write a bit. His works have brought back the pain all of us Beogradjani felt during the civil war which tore our old country apart. It is great to see how well received he is in Montreal! What a vision! And he is consistent to himself.
The city we live in exerts an unseen force on our painting, despite all that we carry within us. In my case, it is a mosaic of cities, and personal experiences. Coincidentally The newest painting I am planning is in tones of white and black. But before starting it I practiced on my gifted flowers, a bit like stretching. I could call it sketching stretching:) Somehow, i feel the need to paint every living thing that enters my studio, even flowers.
Upon seeing my uTube presentation: Marina Gavanski Art Symphony;

S said that my black and white works are the most striking. .
The key for Z is taking a lot of my time. Choosing the best photo of all those possibilities that J photographed for me is difficult and time consuming. Yet when I compare the real painting with the photo, there is always something missing. There is nothing like the original!
