Tjaša: "Colour is the main concern in my paintings, exploring the emotional and expressive qualities... "  

E mentr'Egli pronuncia i suoi incantesimi misteriosi sui Non-Essere che non hanno ne' occhi ne' orecchi, ecco, essi cominciano a smoversi e a fremare; e i figli del Nulla, pei suoi incantamenti, rapidi corrono a frotte verso le contrade dell'Essere, danzando a gioia. E quando Egli di nuovo recita incantesimi sublimi agli esseri, questi come rapidi destrieri, corrono ancora nel Nulla. Ha bisbigliato qualcosa all'oreccho della rosa, ed eccola aprirsi al sorriso; ha mormorato qualcosa al sasso, e n'ha fatto la gemma preziosa scintillante nella miniera! Al corpo ha letto un messaggio sublime e l'ha fatto spirito, ha parlato al Sole e splende ora di raggi. E quando ancora dice all'orecchio del Sole qualcosa, il Tremendo, la guancia rossa del Sole si copre di cento eclissi. Ma che cosa avra' cantato il Dio all'oreccho della Nube, che come un bianco otre, versa lacrime di dolore sulla terra? Che cosa avra' mai il Signore bisbigliatto all'orecchio della Terra, che tutto essa guarda attenta e non dicce parola?"

Maulana Gialal al-Din Rumi, 1207 - 1273, Divan

" Nacque dalla Parola la Forma e mori di nuovo: l'onda si ritrasse di nuovo nel mare. La forma nacque dall'Informe e torno' all'Informe, che' "in verita' a Lui torneremo". Percio' e' in ogni momento una morte e una resurrezione, e giustamente disse il Profetta: "Il mondo e' un istante". Il nostro pensare e' una freccia lanciatta da Lui alta nell'aria: come potra' restare lassu'? Certo tornera' fino a Dio! Ad ogni attimo il mondo si rinnova, e noi siamo ignari del suo rinnovarsi, perche' troppo rapida corre, come la scintilla che tu fai girare rapidissima con la mano. Se abilmente fai girare una torcia, sembrera' un lungo continuo cerchio di fuocco: la dispiegata lunghezza del tempo non e' che la rapidita' dell'atto creatore di Dio, e' prodotto fenomenico della rapidita' del creare!"

Tjaša:

"I view my work as a continuation of the concerns of expressionism.

Colour is the main concern in my paintings, exploring the emotional

and expressive qualities. My colours are used freely and vibrantly.

The paintings vibrate with the contrasts of warm and cold, light and

dark, bright and dull.
I am an avid traveller, and I capture the essence of the places I visit

in vibrant abstracted pictures. Gardens with lush vegetation and

ornaments, busy landscapes with swirling clouds, a coloured square

of Burano island; Through my use of colour and shape I

captivate the viewer with my joyful celebration of life

through my art."
