"The exhibition is made up of over 30 paintings, acrylic on canvas. Works have been created in the last half of the year as a result (partly unexpected for me) for a long process of drawing sketches of different anti-fascist heritage and symbols that, much deeper than I believed, were incorporated into the world of ideas and the environment in which I grew up. The exhibition was originally called "Bright Moments," as a free or slightly more poetic translation of the legal institute “Lucida Intervalla”. It is a Latin term used to describe a rare state of pure, enlightened consciousness within a long period of disturbance caused by various causes. I believe that in each of us (but also in the historical and social sense), things are mostly happening in a cyclic mode with rare moments that represent important, valuable exploits and which are the basis of our joy and pride. In doing so, I wanted the paintings to have some pulsating, latent vitality and to be free from anything that could be considered superfluous. Ultimately, it does not matter what I wanted, it is important what happened on these paintings," said the artist on the eve of the exhibition in Kotor for ART Vijesti.
