Azinovic, Jelena

I am drawn to human body, toward ways in which it is constantly changing, stretching, adjusting itself. Physical manifestations due to mental influences interest me most.
While working slowly and thoroughly I am forming figures with the human body as a kind of catalyst or mediator between outer appearances and inner psychological states. The process of making them is of key value to me. This is when I am focused only on my work, almost meditating whilst working on it, paying attention to every detail. In order to express specific psychological insight I am making clear, almost archaic forms while at the same time physically distorted, almost grotesque, in order to achieve social criticism.
I want to say everything and nothing. I want my sculptures to “scream” all I implemented in them and jet I want them to stay clear, static, their serenity questioning their function thus provoking one to rethink them, to investigate or try to interact with them on some psychological level.
