My name is Sandra Janjatovic. I am a visual artist based in Novi Sad, Serbia, who is creating in different mediums and types of art. Therefore, I best describe myself as a multidisciplinary artist. I work mostly with traditional drawing and painting, but I also work in the field of digital illustrations, animation, photography and even sculpture.
So far during my art career, I had seven independent exhibitions and participated in several group exhibitions, along numerous art projects. Some of the aforementioned exhibitions were in New York in Stricoff Gallery, in London at the Parallax art fair, in Budapest, as well as many others in Serbia. My paintings received several awards - the first place award at the 2019. exhibition “Pallete of youth” in Serbia. Also, I was awarded third place on “Gifart” festival for animation and received a second place award for paintings at the “Sombor art saloon” in 2017.
I love to experiment with different mediums and different styles from abstract to figurative, so my portfolio incorporates that. Most of the time, my main visual element is line. When intertwining, these lines transpose (play) between full and empty space in order to create the illusion of the full form. In my artworks, line slowly went from being the only constructing element to being the element that is contrasting the painted parts on the canvases.
The main theme of my artworks is motion, motion in nature and its laws. For example, similar patterns can be seen in the motion of the water and its resistance towards the objects. Also, it is present in the movement of smoke and its resistance to particulate matter and the behaviour of the gravitational waves.
The inspiration for my works can be traced to nature, but not the nature that stands against the notion of the city - the nature that is universal, whose laws apply and operate in the entire universe. These laws are universal and are much larger and much more important than us and we have just begun to understand them in their broad field of action. In my artworks, i thrive towards the comprehensive and universal ideas, which are aesthetically clear and simple, based on a small number of elements, which create all physical forms of nature.
All of my artworks are open for different interpretations and understanding. In the process of conceptualization of my artwork, I always gravitate towards general description, which will not limit itself only to one natural occurrence, but rather on a single rule or occurrence which is applicable and present in different discourses. In that way, the artworks stay more open for interpretation, which on the other hand gives a chance to the public to incorporate their experiences in the artwork. This brings a deeper interaction between the spectators and artwork. The artworks do not present absolute and unquestionable truth, but a basis and structure on which, later on, the spectator builds meaning.
