“Melancholia”
Tomislav Silipetar
Artist’s Statement: The paintings are mostly made in acrylic, and the themes vary from solitude and isolation to the very existence of human existence in the society that condemns. It favors the simple colors, and the line that goes perfectly with the total preoccupation of getting out of the 'boxes' of academy. It makes a point of making an artist a leader for changes in the materialistic ridden world.
