Artwork By Savina Raznatovic Savina’s abstract works move between collage and a wider field of visual testing, from digital image work and paper studies to painting and sculpture. Across these shifts, the work keeps a consistent task: to register lived emotion and specific events without turning them into illustration or story. The results read like a private log written in code. Experience is not “expressed” so much as stored, compressed, and translated into a symbolic syntax that stays partly hidden, like a diary that refuses confession. The conceptual ground for this syntax is mysticism and religious writing, with a particular investment in Jewish mystical traditions. Midrash matters here not as content to be depicted, but as a method of reading and re-reading, a way of building meaning through layers, gaps, and accumulation. Kabbalistic structures, especially the Sephiroth, provide a model of relation and formation, a diagram of forces rather than a set of images. These references do not function as decoration or quotation. They function as architecture. Creation, in her work, is not presented as a scene and not reduced to a metaphor of growth. It is treated as formation itself: the coming-into-being of structure, the emergence of order from tension, the shaping of a world from something not yet legible. That is why abstraction is not a style choice here, but the only adequate register. Things she addresses exceed the logic of depiction. The work stays with that limit and uses it, insisting that genesis is grasped indirectly, through systems, correspondences, and the pressure of form. https://sawinar.wixsite.com/savinaraznatovic
