Objectives and Motivation:
The
work is created to convey an idea
rather
than to just paint "prettily".
The
vehicles to communicate ideas are
Symbolism, Analogy and the like, while maintaining aesthetic and
decorative quality.
Case in point:
A Lone
Tulip becomes "The Glory of
Simplicity"
.
Work dearest to
this artist's heart
is that which
embraces
many cultures.
.
To
achieve resonance
and disrupt complacency in viewers
the work dealing with
human condition of our times
is approached with analytical understanding
of the drama, such as:
'Women of Bosnia Acquainted with Grief'
( commentary on 1991-93 Bosnia )
or
'Women of Yugoslavia United in Prayer'.
( See links. )
.
To find universal resonance is a creator's dream.

There is
favorable reaction to these paintings wherever
shown; at Solo or Group Shows,
in
print, or on the internet.
The work is
represented
in five States of the U.S. and in Europe.
Artist's
Tools...
...Technical skill was handed
down to me by
professionals
in the U.S. and
abroad
and
their valued legacy now affords versatility.
... The medium of
choice is oil
for
it lends itself to countless techniques
which
are an immense joy to explore -
from glazing, to ala prima,
to layering
and texturing...
The lyric
element is ever-present.
