Fairy Tale

Year: 2015

Location: Kostanjevica roundabout

The author's idea to place a sculpture on one of Kostanjevica's roundabouts emerged immediately after the construction of the Kostanjevica bypass and the new bridge over the Krka River. The title of the sculpture is symbolic and connected with everyday life and events in the city. On the sculpture, which reflects the idyllic environment of Gorjanci, Krakovski forest, the Krka River and life along it, Jože Marinč designed a timeless and never-finished artwork with his characteristic vehement gesture. During his lifetime, he will adjust it at time intervals, and after his death, he will transfer the task to his descendants.

Spring Symphony

Year: 2012

Technique: Acrylic paint on metal

Size: 4m x 14m

Photos by: Tomaž Grdin

Spring Symphony reflects the character of people living in the past and present, optimism and the awakening of the inner consciousness of the individual in the global world of grayness, decay and impotence. Nature has seen it all. From the peaks of Gorjanci in contact with the sky and clouds, down to the valley across meadows to the Krka, into the Krka, which carries the voice in its own speech of rustling water, this path will be an eternal circle. Here and there a deer will jump over a stream and a thirsty traveler will wet his lips at the source of clear water between the rocks. After father and mother, sons and daughters leave traces like a mosaic of the history of time. The positive values of space enrich our senses like salt to bread.

The secrets of forests in the darkness of the deepest shadows, in the wind and silence, in the speech of morning or the sleep of night tell stories. One after another, they expand our horizons of an outstretched finger outward and inward. Without us, the big picture is lonely, a dead song.

Let's open our ears. When we hear the symphony of spring, our eyes come alive, the day is more beautiful.

When I make paintings, traces of color mixtures of certain colors remain in the containers, which apply to the walls of the pots. They are the consequence of a certain time, certain procedures, a certain past, which in all great nature actually remain in space and time and are a material consequence of work.

Kaleidoscope

The kaleidoscope opened my eyes, it was my first encounter with color compositions. I observed the abstraction of colored surfaces that were not recorded in the figure and flowed differently, which fascinated me. By turning the kaleidoscope, all possible combinations were created. Anyone can play with a kaleidoscope and use it to create their own unique images.

The frame is an ordinary image that gives the viewer the opportunity to adjust their own format. They experiment with proportions, with the consequences of cuts, with changing the composition, I show them some of those decisions that I have to make myself in the process of creating the image.

Krispan

Year: 2014

Material: Krispan's coat made by Tailoring Rožman

A childhood memory. We lived in a remote place where a man we called Krispan occasionally appeared without a calendar or announcement. He was a "traveling store," a man who hid enticing colorful toys and sweets for children under his coat, which were stuck in numerous pockets in the lining. Then the children could choose something from his offer, and the parents settled the bill.

CARDINAL DIRECTIONS

Space determines the cardinal directions. Its dynamics opens the flow of energy. A greeting when we come to the city. Instead of grayness, warmth greets us. Colors give light. Light is hope. The object represents a gallery in the open air. The quality of the space gets greater added value. Color layers accelerate the flow of one energy into another.

There are cardinal directions: north, south, east, west.

There are seasons, spring birth, summer brings sun, autumn gifts, winter peace.

Color relationships carry optimism, the purity of truth and surroundings, joy of life, movement in all directions: from north - cooling, freshness, to south - warmth, holidays, romance, from east - growth, new day, awakening, to west - rest, peace, satisfaction.

Yellow shows light, sun, hope. Orange ardor, optimism, joy. Red warmth, heart, love. Green calmness, peace, harmony. Blue water, sky, reason.

Colors lead us into light, where night becomes day. With energy, new worlds open, wide fields of freedom, optimism. Travel means movement in all directions. This world is ours, let's protect it extremely.

There are seven paintings on the object with titles that have symbolic meaning, including: 'Borders Without Borders', 'On the Wings of Life', 'Cardinal Directions', 'Path to the South', 'Day of the Sun', 'Holidays', and 'Violet Bull'.

This series of works has the characteristics of architectural space design, art installation, and painting. The works, arranged in sets, change the character of the entire space. The painting method is monochromatic, as each surface is colored with only one tone. The whole represents a single work that continues to build upon itself.
