Interview: Snezana Mijić, painter

It's important to take yourself seriously

Snežana Mijić is a painter, conservator at the "Gallery of Matica srpska", currently studying for a doctorate in applied art and design at the Academy of Arts in Novi Sad. The immediate reason for our conversation is her exhibition "About the most beautiful pigs", in the Cultural Center "Laza Kostić" in Sombor. Curator Iva Leković writes in the catalog: "Snežana Mijić's Zoopraxiscope starts from a simple idea that multiplies in several directions of interpretation. Taking the motif of a pig from the photographic series of animals in motion by Edward Maybride, who can be considered a pioneer of multimedia and intermedial research, the author re-examines the relationship between traditional and new media, at the same time sketching the (always) current state of society."

Everything is a duel, every day

"Man can only change himself. Everything went astray and everything comes down to some personal worlds, personal formulas. Man can only change his micromicrocosm. In that field, you can act, surround yourself with people and things you love, that interest you"
