Like everything else, only less obvious, water has no fixed form, it is formless, changeable and adaptable. The surface of the lake is connected to the clouds, without a horizon line. The lines of different perspectives of consciousness stretch across a unique expanse, as different points of view of beings, who, each from the illusion of their separate ego, perceive the “environment” and parse phenomena into concepts.

In all techniques and media, she (M.V.) searches for emanations of a universal harmony, and with her means she witnesses a premonition of the connection between the microcosm and the macrocosm. […] In the symbiosis of documentary testimony of natural beauty and personal interpretation of life-giving forces, we find reasons for an almost hymnic acceptance of existence, and a certain correlative to such an understanding is the synthesis of various technical procedures and presentation strategies. (Maroević, Tonko. 2016, Five Seasons, Zagreb: Department of Prints and Drawings Croatian Academy of Sciences and Art)

Sparrow

2006
serigraphy on foil
5 x (100 x 70 cm)
Croatian Academy of Sciences and Arts Prize, 9^th Croatian Prints Triennial, Zagreb, 2006

A gigantic sparrow is shown through the five prints set in space in such a way that their frontal observation requires approaching each of them at a short distance, from which the illusion of the sparrow’s form disperses into raster dots. With microscopic approach the confinement of bodies in their solid shapes disappears, they disperse into a universe of particles connected by magnetic forces.
