PAINTING AS AN IMPULSE

With Vladimir Vojvodic's paintings, an observer can see, feel and find out what painting really is. Those paintings are the expressions of calmness, but also of a spiritual adventure, craft as well as passion and love for painting.
They are essential definitions of what painting can and should be even today. As a painter who can paint well, he can make

an artistically challenging scene out of everything, just like the old masters: a painting with all its complicated elements and levels. Although it may seem to an untrained eye that some of his paintings are very skillfully analyzed photographs of landscapes or painting of the nature by memory, they are just pure artistic solutions brought to the abstract. Vojvodic explores the colour, light, space, composition, local tone, shade and cast shade, details, in the scenes which bring the joys of painting closer to an observer in the easiest way.
Harsh, but fluent at the same time, this kind of painting brings up emotions and caresses the senses. The world of herbs, meadows, flowers, bushes, trees, forest clearings and paths, cherry orchards and shadowy skies, is full of flavours and sounds of nature, those distant and woven ones. His paintings are the simplest and the most universal, as much as the art of landscape painting allows it, they are common places where atmosphere, densities and characters are hidden.
This painter thinks that all exaggerations in art are signs of weakness. In that sense, Vojvodic finds a limit in creation, an ideal spiritual remoteness from a painting, which is in accordance with the closeness with the nature. As well as chamber music or poetry, these paintings awake the personal and the deepest in an observer: memories, dreams, quivers, joys, sadness… Can we and may we ask for more from art? For, with Vladimir Vojvodic's works, we get to know the truth of art – celebration and peaceful mind, quietness and abstractness.
