About the Artist

Aleksandra Kokotovic’s expressive, layered, abstract paintings, explores the internal conflict that we experience as human beings, striving to become whole, questioning our existence and our fundamental beliefs. Inspired by human existence, Blue Pill is a paradox between knowledge and ignorance. The “blue pill” is referenced in society as inhibiting knowledge yet the subjects of her work are uninhibited. The observer is thus challenged to create their own truth.

Kokotovic’s works include suggestions of ethereal and angelic figurative forms within intense passages of abstraction and within experimental lines and shapes. The subdued surface coupled with the use of sporadic vibrant colors, or geometric elements, play upon themes of the earthly and the celestial, and reflects the many intimate intricacies of the mind. As a nod to Surrealism, Kokotovic’s work seeks to unleash the creative potential of the unconscious mind. Her scope is wide-ranging, as she transforms her work into highly personalized mediums with one, singular voice of expression. Her use of abstraction is intricately inspired by the human spiritual journey and the quest for reaching a higher self. In the same spirit, her work is a testimony to the Consciousness, encompassing all the dimensions of space, matter and time, as her paintings dare the observer to look outside our material world.
