ZORAN MATIĆ MATA The idea that we should give the benefit to those artists with singular relevance, who enjoy the satisfaction of their work, recognized before the world, was what inspired me to carry out this interview. In today's world, it is necessary to discover the inspiration of artists and recognize the importance of those who work with the eye of the soul. It is also necessary to know in life what drives an artist to capture his feelings, ideas and frustrations on a canvas accompanied by different colors. We need to learn, sensitize ourselves. Worse for them, as Dalí suggested, for those who are not interested in art. The teacher Zoran Matic-Mata was born in the former Yugoslavia, today Serbia. He studied at the Sarajevo Academy of Modern Art, where he learned tactics of restoration, reconstruction and protection of paintings, icons, ancient objects, church monuments. He had the honor of working for two years at the Salvador Dalí Museum, in Figueras, Spain, where he was a disciple of the Spanish genius of abstract pictorial expression, Surrealism. Zoran expresses his work in a context of surrealism and fantastic realism. Has your life changed a lot since you've been in the art world? Well, I came from another dimension, from the dimension of the arts. That is why I had colored pencils in my hands from the first day of being aware of everything that surrounded me; then one cannot speak of any change from one to the other. All was in one and one was in all. Thus, put mildly, the artist and philosopher came in one package. My mom says that I came out backwards [ríel: on my feet, not like other children. That says a lot, ready to face the whole world and solve any doubt when it comes in front. With more or less success but I'm still walking, and I'm a warrior of the arts, fierce. In the end my life still does not change, maybe in another reincarnation or in a previous one I was a samurai. Do you miss something from your childhood? How can I miss something if it still lives inside of me? I am still a child, a little older and also a little more conscious swimming in the sea, immersed in the arts, exploring and discovering the islands and new continents, without wanting or being able to return to the zero point. And out of all that comes a little advice for artists: if you have forgotten your childhood or parts of it, leave the world of the arts and pursue some nobler work. What is your source of inspiration? Maybe it could disappoint, but there is no inspiration, only the right connection with yourself and everything around you. This leaves us with an endless pit. If we are not prepared, we will never reach the promised lands. In Zen it is said that if you move your gaze for a single moment you will never see it again. That's where the advice for all artists comes from. And of course, we could open a walkway that would take us to NeverEnding Story, make a book, but now is not the time.
