Today our curator and director Aleksandr Blanar @blanar has visited the studio of Nikola Đelošević in Belgrade, Serbia, capturing intimate and personal moments with the artist surrounded by the works and symbols that define his evolving visual world.
At the centre of Đelošević’s practice is a series of drawings and silkscreen prints born from the artist’s desire to create a symbolic language of his own. Inspired by the poetry of William Blake, the works emerged through intuition, repetition and spontaneous image-making. Figures, arches, vessels and fragmented spaces reappear across compositions, gradually forming a poetic system of meanings shaped as much by instinct as reflection.
Later on, the artist builds on this body of work continuing it and transforming. He uses a new medium and for the first time paints with oil and creates large works in the series The Damage Has Already Been Done, which reflects a deeply personal confrontation with vulnerability, insecurity and transformation. The solitary figures and metaphysical architectural spaces become both emotional landscapes and quiet meditations on memory, change and closure, what the artist describes as “the closing of a circle” begun in 2022.
Through restrained colour, symbolic architecture and contemplative atmospheres, Nikola Đelošević creates works suspended somewhere between dream, melancholy and inner reflection.
