Amazon (2012) Escultura por Nikola Radonjic Johnny

My arts story as inspired by my external and internal perception of the world. As this perception is unique to each individual it sets the person in between the physical and metaphysical.
I was always fascinated by the pressure of inspiration which forces the artist to create an art piece and later serves as an inspiration for the observer. The same inspiration starts off as immaterial information which through us forms material objects.
My art pieces remind of the Purgatory, a place between Heaven and Hell, and depending on our thoughts we are closer to one or another. That endless gap not only in my art pieces, but otherwise, is reserved for the Human. The Human as a singularity which the universe keeps for itself and at same time has to be in line with a certain external universal order.
The main motive of my art works is the human shape depicted as deformed and punished for its alienation from a certain universal truth. The reason leading an endless battle with unwanted emotions is depicted as a human with a defined character and body shape, while unwanted emotions represent undefined, volatile and deformed shapes. The human body represents humanity as formed in states imposed by earthly existence.
Quoting a passage from the Light of Microcosm ( i.e. original language “ Luca mikrokozma”) which perfectly describes that human suffering and feeling of unattainability of perfection in the human form: “ He remembers the first glory, he dreams of happy bliss, but his dreams and memories are highly concealed from his sight”. A human racing towards perfection, while perfections are only a mirage, is with each step at the same distance.
I believe color is very important to achieve a certain environment within the relief. I spend the same time to patinate an artwork and to execute it in certain material. Color I started perceiving after I got tired of bronze patina. I simply started using various colors which are not used as imitation of bronze, but rather to achieve a certain environment. As you can see my reliefs are dominated by one tone and all other tones are to set the overall environment.
As it is with sculptures and reliefs, my drawings have their autonomy and require my fullest attention. While I draw, I often discover certain things which I later use for reliefs and sculptures. I believe that drawings are the cleanest form of art and the most important imprint of inspiration i.e. states of obsessions in which an artist falls during work.
