Mirela Blažević – "Mirror", oil on canvas, 45x62cm, 2018
Mirela Blažević practices figurative painting, while the subject of female body is a part of her everyday, that made her choose it as the main motive of her personal exploration - the body as a creative means of communication. The painting “Mirror” depicts the artist’s reflection in the mirror.
The reflection is not complete and its aim is not to account for the real or to shape the desired body, but to present a fragment of perception, for from outside it works as an entity with discerning characteristics.
