Straggler Art
I am Dragoljub Paunović, Belgrade, Serbia, a programmer by profession and I worked for more then three decades in the software development projects in leading positions.
Digital art has fascinated me for years as a new way for capturing mysterious corners of the human imagination. Today, we can confidently say that the digital art offers limitless horizons for everything, from figurative compositions to landscapes and abstractions and especially with the advent of artificial intelligence and the possibilities provided by generative art.
If I should say something about my work, which began in 2007, I think it is best to refer to the words of the immortal Gustav Klimt:
"Whoever wants to know something about me as an artist, the only notable thing ought to look carefully at my pictures and try and see in them what I am and what I want to do."
And as Otto Dix once said: "All art is exorcism. I paint dreams and visions too, the dreams and visions of my time. Painting is effort to produce order, order in yourself. There is much chaos in me, much chaos in our time."
Join me on this wild ride through creativity, where every stroke tells a story and every color screams for attention!
That is Who We Are
This is a cycle of works that explores the most hidden human secrets. It is an attempt to discover our position in the world, our aspirations and ambitions, but also our highest mountains and deepest swamps.
A mixture of struggle, joy and pain, accompanied by existential fear of an uncertain future.
Memento Mori
This is a cycle of works that tries to deal with the themes of life’s transience, loss of hope and the inevitability of fate from different angles.
So, a classic medieval motif related to the funerary art of that time, but with a touch of the 21st century and ideas of posthumanism and transhumanism.
