"Hello, I was present to walk/ Your guiding through exhibition “Between Innocence and Evil” in Belgrade. And I wish to send You few photography and few impressions. In Belgrade, after opportunity to talk with You, I have a feeling that my English wasn’t good enough and that I maybe wrong described my impressions. Although I’m artist, I work with children in primary School, teaching to art little people. Working at school I see a lot bad intentions in some kids acts, but also many of children have so much empathy for some situations, that they strongly shows that on world all the time exists balance, that empathy don’t disappear. Listening to You this empathy was somehow all time present in your sentences – while You was talking about different topics, I have impression that you are so incredibly interested on the moment and on history, listening public, students, and also so strong interested on every situations on Your paintings. I like Your work in years, because of concept, painting techniques, many reasons….but also because I still thinking how beautiful is that one person see so many “invisible” “parallel” “forgotten” stories, historical, or now actual, that he/art work speaking so deep about the society… And in Belgrade I wish to mention that wars in Balkan influence on my family, that that period, years, migration, some illnesses, situations - changed us… People are in change all the time of their lives, certainly, but it is difficult when we go through a lot bad experience in just a few years. It is beautiful when society, people, notice persons which surrounding them, and when people help, empathize, or just try to influence on many situations. React. My family is at these days in life rhythm which satisfied us, and everyone individually reach some level of tranquility/ happiness. But it was necessary to invest years and years to understand past, find way to impact everything in private and collective history, thinking about pain, decisions, and consequences….it is life, and each life is always so rich, all cycles are in some way beautiful. Of course, now it's easy for me to say this, because my family gets out of decades of problems, periods of life maturation, medical treatments, acceptance. But many people are victims of new wars, or some torture, terrible things. And I do not know will I ever put these subjects in my art, but it was so emotionally important for me when I see how some artist speak in name of thousands, millions persons…. Thank You. It was very strong experience for me, but I didn’t find words to express in gallery. Mr. Helnwein, I wish You all the best. I’m happy to have opportunity to see Your art in live, to listen to You. It was important moment for me, suppose for many persons."
