Svetlana works in her studio at night. When all is finished, she tries to dive into the hidden part of her personality and give into a world of emotions. Often this is a hard job being in search of the ideal harmony, sound, colors, and delicate lines (which do not participate in the construction of forms), but it is the most sensitive feeling. She is trying to bring the parts to her work that will flow into a universal language and be understood by the artistic elite and the general public. The end product is the closest materialization of the artist’s thought that develops during creation.
What has inspired Svetlana’s art career is harmony and humanism – harmony in terms of the balance of the picture elements. To achieve this, Svetlana has studied influential abstract expressionist artists. Svetlana’s sense of connection is guided by her genetic code of collective memory: feelings of freedom, peace, joy and sublime love. Humanism is the convergence for her of people offering their opinions and understanding of her paintings.

The statements of Svetlana Vuksanovic, we do have in front of us, carry a kind of distinction, where we could have in mind, that they are deeply pervaded together with her own being and need that action field of the painting should be transformed into the surface where the personal ritual act take place.
That need for visualization of the ritual act has its own point of departure in the desire where means of the fine arts states strong emotional experience appear in own feel of life.
In the process of the elaboration of Svetlana’s statement, she persists that from life turbulence, light pulsations, and biomorph forms, she is surrounded with, to separate micro fragments and to subdue them until lost any connection with starting visual material.
The creation of such forms represents the root where is possible to introduce direct vibrations of her own creative process and transform the statement into an exciting environment where we can register the creator’s movement inside of the picture.
That movement inside of the picture is the way to cross the limitations of real surroundings and step back to the essential base of being itself.
For Svetlana, to step backward on the mythological path of modern Odyssey means together with the painting to go on a voyage across dark and wild and empty spaces toward areas of irrational landscapes, hidden in a deep soul labyrinth, where inside of the soul light pulsations of primordial beauty with clear elegiac and sometimes deep frustrating daily sounds are heard.
