Maturation of thoughts, rejection of the apparent and the complexity of the abstract
"Successfully responding to the demands of academia, but even more successfully by introducing the demands of personal instinctive judgment, Aleksandar defines himself from the very beginning and lays clear and decisive foundations of his painting. His decisiveness, ambition and clear vision stand in direct proportion to his painterly expression and compositional complexity. Aleksandr's initial preoccupation with figuration, which he rules, begins to expand, deepen and build upon, by cleaning and simplifying with which he consciously and courageously flows into abstraction, which rests on solid foundations and emerges from the layered examination of the possibilities of artistic expression. The cycle is at the same time united by a dominant and raw warm color, which seems to burn in the paintings, but which is controlled and tamed by the artist's skill, without depriving the show of the true painterly channeling of passion. By playing with the intervals of the painted surface as an instrument of opposing movements, lines as direction and the whiteness of the canvas as a compositional break, he creates an infectious rhythm and a personal dynamic. Giving a new meaning, visually and aesthetically talking about his development, the development of his own idea and artistic maturity, disclosing the process of artistic creation on the way to abstraction, we have to follow and wait for what he will put in front of us in the future and call his truth."
