Anita Kovacevic - Fine Artist
My work reflects the richness of my heritage and life experience. Born in 1975, I spent my early years in Trzic, Slovenia, a little picturesque country in southern Central Europe. Now I live between Coquitlam (Vancouver), BC (Canada).
My love and appreciation of photography and art began long time ago, but my great need to express myself and my vision manifested at the end of 2006 through the art of photography,and through poetry writing. I have always enjoyed being the observer, just watching people and my surroundings, and learning.
I love taking photos from different and unusual angles, especially of the old buildings and random people on the street. I experiment in all aspects of photography, but my special interests are black and white/sepia, street/candid photography, photojournalistic, abstract and fine art photography.
Being deeply influenced by the Japanese philosophy that embraces simplicity, and the Chinese philosophy that emphasizes the importance of a family, I strive not to forget who I am and where I come from.
Artist's statement:
My photography is all about finding order in a chaotic world.
Painting with light is my key to the secret garden which I explore over and over.
Photography started it. It frees my imagination and fills me with a sense of accomplishment and integrity. Through the lens I preserve my inner vision and freeze my emotions translated to outer reality.
I photograph from inside out.
I celebrate life and it's energy and movement that are deeply rooted in my images; which are streaked with order and chaos, known and unknown.
I want the viewer to experience the marvelous sparks of life as well as the breath of nostalgia evoked in my images.
I photograph to remember.
Love and Light,
Anita Kovacevic
