Property of the artist

Mateja Suligoj’s paintings (acrylic on canvas) are moving in an abstract

dimension to her visionary conception.

Every canvas is accurately drawn in perspective first, with one dramatic

vanishing point in the middle, usually where an intensive light is placed.

With great skill the viewer is driven into the light thanks to a combination

of geometrical obstacles as an optical labyrinth with blocks of colors.

Even if her palette is quite harmoniously brilliant, the fact that with her

perspective she forces us through aberrant levels, toward a weightless

space. The white zone is the center.

We enter, at this point, into another space quite virtual, surprisingly

infinite, as twilight zone.
