Untitled
In 2020, the world came to a standstill due to the pandemic. Everyday life was suddenly different, and many people felt a loss of control. During that time, my artworks explored the beauty of losing control. The artistic approach was it to paint first and to think later.
Aleksandra Ratkovic has been working on her „Untitled“ series from 2020 to 2023. The series explores abstract forms, a large color palette and creates high contrasts, aiming to achieve visual dynamism and depth in her paintings. Her fascination with optical illusions and spatial effects created through overlaps, shadows, and light adds complexity and challenges viewers‘ perceptions.
The development of these work is influenced by music, which helps Ratkovic focus on the present moment. Her creative process is marked by spontaneity and intuition, allowing her emotions and thoughts to guide her brush. This free-form approach permits her subconscious mind to shape the artwork, resulting in authentic and emotive pieces.
Her fascination with optical illusions aims to challenge the viewer’s perception and reach a deeper level of observation.
