Vera Stanarcevic
My favourite materials are metals / steel, brass , aluminium…/ and material found in Nature / soil, wood ,straw, branches…/
When I start to make sculptures, objects and drawings ,the main aim is to do something new and exciting for me and to use “ artist lanquage “ in best way .
I began to use material from Nature soon after graduation.
In my childhood I often sit alone in the field in “my village", staring in the sky, dreaming with open eyes, drawing something, looking at insects, birds, and I felt relax , calm as connect with Nature and as a part of Nature.
And now, sometimes, while I sit in the room, I can get back in that nice feeling of relaxation and...happiness!
This feeling of bliss is very strong when I work in Nature and use material that I find in Nature! That is why I always use the opportunity to be part of a group that "does something" in Nature - to re-emerge the feeling of bliss and happiness I had in my childhood!
When I use material from Nature , some of these sculptures are very close to Nature while others assume a more abstract form , only being briefly indicate into the Nature .
Also ,it is inspirational to be aware and to be witnes of slow process when wind , rain and sun continue to shape artists ecological objects up to their end…
No matter if I use a variety of materials, techniques, dimensions , in my artistic work ,the entire process is related to my essential being which sometimes openly display and sometimes not.
Objects and sculptures I make this way are are silent results of this mental trip.
