About
Dušica Pejić explores the dynamic relationship between visual art, movement, and psychological states through her artistic practice. Her artworks bear a strong imprint of the unconscious, which is especially evident in her series of paintings, objects, and innovative approach to Kinetic drawing.
In her series of paintings, she explores the complex relationship between the conscious and unconscious aspects of the human psyche, focusing on inner conflicts and tensions that shape our everyday lives. These works invite the viewer to introspect, explore their own inner conflicts, and reconsider how the conscious and unconscious work together to shape our experiences. Through her painting series, Pejić examines the polarities of human existence—light and darkness, chaos and order—suggesting that conflicts are an inseparable part of us, yet also essential for personal growth.
In her innovative Kinetic drawing practice, Pejić connects movement and visual art in a way that enables the documentation of bodily movements through visual expression. This art form merges the spontaneity of movement with subtle visual articulation, creating unique artifacts that convey the profound emotional complexity of the human experience. In the context of Kinetic drawing, she utilizes the dynamics of improvised movement and emotional states to create distinctive forms and textures, making movement an integral part of the artwork.
Dušica Pejić recognized as one of the eight most prominent abstract painters in Serbian art after 2000, her works are part of exclusive collections, including Wiener Städtische, Mandarin Oriental Savoy in Zurich, Alex Lake Luxury Hotel in Zurich, Crowne Plaza in Amsterdam, Bridge Plaza in Belgrade, and other prestigious locations.
As an associate professor in the master’s program at the Belgrade Dance Institute in Serbia, Dušica Pejić actively works on projects that connect diverse artistic disciplines, with a special focus on integrating visual and performing arts. Her artistic expression is both deeply personal and universally relevant, inviting the viewer to explore the deeper layers of their psyche through the light and darkness that define the human experience.
