Painter of light and shadow
In Kovačica, where light was not just an appearance, Jan Knjazovic has made a world in which shadow and light are fighting an eternal battle. His art was not just technique; it was an exploration of colour and philosophy that was turned into paintings. His nightly appearances were not just paintings; they were, in fact, stories that happened in places that only existed in his eyes. Light was not just a sometimes – it was the basis of everything. Jan was brave in choosing his moments – wedding moments, a quiet scene from a room – all was filled with beauty and life. In his portrayals, light and colour did not brawl; they were brushing one's lips against each other in the perfect harmony that only Jan could pass onto his canvas.
