Your work often merges painting and poetry. How do these two forms interact in your creative process?

Picture is poetry, poetry is a picture. That is perfect synesthesia. Every word has its own frequency and vibration, and so does color… So the image also contains the deeply hidden meaning of LOGOS, both of the entire world and of every created human being…

Your paintings feel emotionally intense and layered. Do you begin with a clear concept, or does the work evolve intuitively?

I begin my painting in a state of pure consciousness. My pictures have their own beginning and their own ending. My duty is just to paint without thinking and see the result.

You mention that a painting is the sum of different states and moods. How do you recognize when a work is truly finished?

As I told you. My picture has its own finish. For example, my collages, from one coherent quantum field to another…

The color in your work feels very expressive and symbolic. How do you choose your palette?

I recall our Serbian scientist, Nikola Tesla, who clearly states that everything should be viewed through the lens of frequency and vibration…I am just vibrating and transferring my vibration on canvas.

How has your academic background influenced your current artistic language, and where do you consciously break away from it?

An artist’s blood picture is complex, unique, and vast. Every artist has their own unique, complex DNA and blood type. From that unique, complex DNA and blood types springs all Art, and mine as well.

In a sea of uniformity in stories and ideas, to display creativity and even boldness, and to choose only your own rules instead of others’ is not at all easy, nor is it common, in the expression I use in my painting.

Many critics note a sense of “rebirth” in your work. Is transformation a central theme in your practice?

No. I am just conducting my actual vibrations on canvas, nothing else. Thinking is calculating in the process of painting. I am avoiding that. I am admiring the great masters, but they are showing mastery and techniques in their artworks, not vibrations; they made copies of their mind’s perception on canvas, but I admired and fully respect their efforts and results.

What emotional or psychological response do you hope viewers experience when engaging with your work?

Pure emotions, joy, contemplations, when they understand the deeper layers of my work, and finally calm when my pictures are in their rooms. My buyers wrote me about that experience with my pictures. My pictures have their own consciousness in finding their new place from my atelier. So you just email me at pecujlija@gmail, and my pictures will be answered and arrive at you.
