“Jelena Kršić’s paintings and sculptures are actually unique - an anti-harmonious whole of forms and images, and possible interpretive words. Let’s take a brief look at the latent idea of this text about the possibilities of conquering space and occupying space in the works of this author.”

About Krsic's Work
Jelena Kršić is a visual artist, born on the 20th of May in 1968, in Maribor, Yugoslavia. In 1988 she begins her studies at the Faculty of Fine Arts in Belgrade, in the sculpture class of Professor Nikola Koka Jankovic, a regular member of the Serbian Academy of Sciences and Arts, whose tutor was the painter Sreten Stojanovic, the student in the school of Roden’s pupil, Antoine Burdell, in Paris. During her studies, she was going in for analog photography and scuba diving. Until 2007, Jelena does not participate in the contemporary art scene. As a sign of protest against the time and place she lives in, filled with manipulation, corrupted morality, she creates in her studio and raises her daughters. 2007 is a groundbreaking year when she decides to exhibit her works, originating from the period of 2000 to 2007, for the first time. In 2013 she starts introducing drawings on canvas, with free use of color. Expressive, powerful strokes correspond to the potential power of information and the importance we attach to it.
Studio Visit
“emotionally so strong figures, whose goal is to express the obviousness of our states of the soul. Everything around them exudes an atmosphere arising from changeable relationships.”
“Jelena Kršić’s exhibited paintings can raise a question that is often asked in the artistic process itself or in criticism and theory, and it refers to the appearance and meaning of a new art object.”
