Submission Painting

Jelena Sokić paintings

I understand painting as a long-term process and commitment, a journey into a personal fictional world shaped by memory, emotion, and association. Painting allows me to explore and articulate my vision of reality through form, color, gesture, and bodily presence. I invite the viewer to engage slowly, to remain within the image and experience its layered narratives. My works address questions of identity, motivation, emotional drives, and the structuring and deconstruction of the self. I paint from memory, avoiding photographic or digital references, seeking to reveal an inner, convincing reality. Through ambiguity and psychological tension, my paintings create spaces of uncertainty that encourage introspection and multiple interpretations.
