About the Series – The Mysterious Past
Misteriozna preteklost is a series of sculptural relief paintings created from natural materials—primarily raw earth and hand-shaped plaster. Each work serves as a quiet meditation on architectural fragments that hold the memory of time. Rather than depicting specific locations, the series evokes archetypal forms—arches, portals, windows—that act as symbolic thresholds between the external world and inner stillness.
By using earth—a material that carries both life and history—the artist roots each piece in authenticity and tactility. The raw texture suggests age and erosion, while the sculptural use of plaster adds depth, encouraging not just visual engagement, but physical and emotional response.
The series is grounded in environmental consciousness: created without synthetic pigments or coatings, each piece honors the integrity of its materials and the impermanence they represent.
The Mysterious Past explores themes of memory, spiritual silence, loss, and connection. These are not narrative scenes, but atmospheric fragments—spaces for quiet reflection and an intimate dialogue with what is no longer visible, yet still deeply felt.
