Vukašin Delević is a contemporary artist based in Belgrade, whose interdisciplinary practice, spanning painting, photography, and new media, delves into inner states and uncharted realms.
Artist Statement
My work explores the bond between human interiority and the cosmic expanse, the individual as a microcosm where personal emotion and universal structure converge. I work across painting, video, photography, collage, and drawing, often using the airbrush to develop a visual language that reflects the atmospheric, expansive nature of my subjects.
I'm drawn to the "oasis" as a state of cognitive and emotional regeneration, informed by classical philosophy, the study of the sacred, and archetypal symbols. These compositions function as meditative thresholds, spaces where daily noise dissolves into a heightened state of awareness.
Ultimately, my work maps the weight of being, moving from the hidden architecture of the body toward the vast, unanswerable scale of the infinite.
