Marija Sviličić - Painting, Drawing, Digital Arts, Photography
Zagreb, Croatia
My talent for drawing and painting was recognized in very early years by a professor of fine art who exhibited my paintings not only in our school but also outside. But despite the many talents: - painting, music (solo singing), different roles in the puppet theatre, writing poetry, I had to choose a different kind of schooling. And it was mostly because from the art it is very hard to live. Which means, to get, after school, a good job and financial independence. This has created a completely different dimension in my life. Painting, poetry and other branches of art continued to play a major role in my life since creativity and beauty in the creation an artwork is the greatest gift we can get. That's my way, strength and meaning of life. Artmajeur has given me exceptional opportunities, besides exhibiting my artwork, it is giving me security, encouraging me to paint as much as possible, to find new directions and techniques in painting (digital painting) as well as in photography. But I myself, as a person, am always ready for new challenges.
“Artmajer's blog (15th November 2017) Creativity: user manual The great enemies of the creative are fatigue and stress, the search for perfection, specialization, the "academic" spirit, the routine and the lack of openness to the world. Creating something that has never existed requires enthusiasm, experimentation and a detachment of knowledge and the past. It's an open, free-spirited attitude that feeds on everything and is driven by challenges”.

THE WAY OF LIGHT - THE WAY OF PEACE!
There are those who create - it is the WAY OF LIGHT.
And those who destroy - it is the WAY OF DARKNESS.
Behind the former are their works (artistic, scientific, humanitarian, ...), because their heart was filled with love, kindness and peace, and only such a heart is ready for forgiveness.
Behind the others - there is nothing left, nothing at all. All that remains is the darkness into which they were brought by a heart filled with hatred, trapped forever and left in a black hole from which they never came out.
If we choose the PATH OF LIGHT we will create our own inner light that will guide us to never walk the path of darkness.

WHY DO I PAINT VULKANS AND VULKAN AREAS ?!
I have a great awe for them as well as for the nature on the whole.
On the other hand volcanos are like our subconscious. For many years they are filled with painful events, informations, problems, suppresse feelings…By pushing them deep inside we think that they will disappear or they wan't disturb us. Until one day our volcano (subconsciousness) with all its power does not break out to the surface by shaking and injuring our body and soul. The trigger can be a new trauma or painful experience. Sometimes it can be very painful with a bad ending bringing our psyche and body into a disease. Some of us manage to face personal psycho-analogy (my experience) and awaken everything deeply buried inside us. Some of us have to look for help and support.
The volcanoes are resting as long as the fire from the depths of the Earth does not break out to the surface. Why? It is an unfathomable nature that always surprises us with its power and frightening destruction. It protests and warns - do not destroy me, love me and guard me!
This way our subconscious should also be considered. Bring it to consciousness, accept and understand it.

LOVE AS A GIFT
(Thinking about friendship on social networks)
Looking at this marveles video about the beauty, and the relationships created in nature, I realise how everything is simple, and without any complications – it is created, and has it’s birth and death, contrary to us people.
Recently I’ve read a nice taught – „Love hurts only if we expect something from it“.
I’ve already wrote that it is we, who are classifying and dividing love, and that is, in fact, always only a feeling. It is only depth and the power of this feeling which was arosen in us, that is important. Any way, again it is only our own subjective impression. Even when it happens that two souls and bodies meet each other, and merge in one unity, (which is actualy wonderful), again it is our expectations, that are interrupting this harmony...Why? We expect longevity of our relationship and emotions. If it doesn’t occure (happen), we are lost in suffering. Love which was shining, and was filling our whole life with light, now be reverted into darkness, angriness, jelousy, and even into hatred. And all that happens because we are not living in the present moment, but are creating our future in advance. That is the reason why we are lost in disharmony of expectation – but that is not the case in the nature.
If we shold be more aware, and if we should accept that in fact love is a big gift, and that it is in fact a big fortune that we met it, felt it, experienced it – we would be much happier. It is feelings that give us meaning in our life, otherwise we would be as as an empty wessel laying somewhwrw on the shelf.
I am also thinking about the friendships in, and about this virtual world itself. And again, our expectation occure (happen). We think and feel that we met some akin and close soul, but again it is only our own subjective feeling which drives us into delusion. We forget that our figures are in some way fantasised and embelished, because we want to present ourselves in the most beautyfool light. It is not something bad anyway. Everybody want respect, simpathy and recognition (appreciation) of his (her) creative favours... But, the mistake is, that falling into the trap of this virtual world, little by little we loose the connection with reality, because it is easier to live in that way, than in the real world. I would say that the eternal fight about existence, and unnecessary fears which are presented to us from all the sides, brought us to that situation. Less and less we are laughing and enjoying. Less and less we hug each other, and speak soft words. And so we come to the point that we are all in need of gentlness and hug, even if it happen virtualy. Some close contacts are formed, and even some feelings come up. But, any way, reality has something to say here. Some of the friends who became dear to you – simply dissapears. Leave his (her) empty profile, or leave it on waiting or pause. Or, some nasty hacker destroys your computer, an everything dissapears without any trace. From this reasons, we don’t need to mourne, and feel abandoned, in trying to find something which doesn’t exist. We have to comprehend that it was only one short lightning of beautiful feelings, and that we were in that particular moment in need of that person, which was assigned (alloted) to us. We didn’t loose anything, on the contrary we gained something. I, myself personaly experienced that. One dear friend, with his art, animated and inspired me, to draw and write more. That means that the virtual world can be good to, until we don't identify it with the real world, and until it does't become our opsession.
In trying to find that which doesn't exist, we loose all that beautiful, spontanies and real in this life, which is given to us as a big gift, which we have to love and respect.

Creativity in any direction dignifies and brings joy and beauty of creation. As we experience the beauty of nature, painting, poetry - of written words, music, photography, and generally art differently, we have to appreciate that diversity. And always keep in mind that behind every art creativity there is one person with his/her talent, determination, perseverance and inspirative and creative creation.
