International Awareness Days mark particular events or topics in order to promote, through awareness and action. Every date is important to someone and every topic worth reflecting: endangered species, diseases, underappreciated professions, natural disasters, dangerous phenomena… This long list proves that ordinary days do not really exist, only personal expectations.
Since 2006 I made over 480 paintings of DEAR DIARY because every day carries a little story, which deserves to be noticed.
Color directly affects our moods, and for this reason I try to make harmonious choices and to excite joy, while thinking about perfection of the nature; the misuse of Utopian dream of happiness; or just keeping track of good moments during each day…
MAJA ERDELJANIN deals with various artistic techniques and materials. In her painting, besides the interest in the notion of a beautiful and the attitude towards the human tendency for harmony, the focus is always on color, which is not only viewed as an artistic element and matter, but also as an important segment of the inner life of an individual.
