Painting

Painting is an art that applies colors to different surfaces, expresses thoughts and feelings or simply creates beauty. The painter uses a combination of drawing, composition, light and color to express concepts or describe the world around him...

Nadezda Petrovic is the most important Serbian painter. She was also a philanthropist, a lively speaker, a journalist, a photojournalist, a nurse and a heroine of the First World War, who died of typhus as a nurse. She believed in the significant role of art in the emancipation of the broadest sections of the population. She introduces Serbian painting into the flow of contemporary European art. Her best works are dominated by large surfaces and her favorite - bright red and green colors. She is known for painting portraits and landscapes, and she showed her patriotism in her frequent treatment of subjects from national history and painting of people and regions of Serbia. The work of Nadezda Petrovic radiates strong expression, strength and courage of this unique woman - a painter from the Balkans.

Miodrag-Mica Popovic painter, art critic, writer, film director, scenographer... Nevertheless, he considered himself exclusively a painter, and everything else in the function of his painting vocation. Mica Popovic went through several phases of painting, the most famous of which are "informel" and "scenery painting". The central place of Mica Popovic's entire painting oeuvre, seen retrospectively, in all phases, was the fateful feeling of the tragedy of existence — both individual and collective.

Milan Konjovic, a prominent painter, begins his artistic journey in the so-called "early phase", during schooling in Central Europe. When he went to Paris, color became an important element of painting, and the first masterpieces were created in the "blue phase", which, upon returning to his homeland, replaced the passionate "red phase" in the paintings of the landscapes and people of Vojvodina and Dubrovnik. War and captivity quiet down the color of the "gray phase", and in 1953 a turning point comes, a freer attitude towards the subject and the dominance of pure, intense color in the works of the "colorist phase", a painting orientation that culminates in the "associative phase", the most mature period of the artist's creativity. The "Byzantine phase", created in Konjovic's late years, inspired by Byzantine icons and frescoes, closes the circle of the artistic path.
