MY COLORS IN PAINTING
posted by SANIJELA MATKOVIĆI paint because color knows what words leave unspoken. I do not seek beauty for pleasure, but truth for survival. My painting is not decoration, but testimony. Every tone carries experience, every contrast resistance, every silence meaning. Blue is my breathing — the space in which I gather myself. Red is my rebellion — the blood of time and the pulse of existence. Yellow is hope that does not fade even when light grows weak. White is beginning and forgiveness, the place where a painting can speak again. Black is not an end — it is depth, the matrix from which the new is born. I do not belong to a school, but to inner necessity. I do not adapt to the viewer’s gaze — I invite it into encounter. My colors do not beautify themselves, nor do they ask for acceptance. They exist because they must. I paint layers of time, fractures of identity, quiet victories and visible wounds. In my paintings, color remembers, resists forgetting, and carries a voice. This is painting that does not explain — but remains. That does not seduce — but touches. That does not fall silent — but speaks to those who dare to look. These are my colors. And I stand behind them.
