The exhibition of paintings by the Montenegrin painter Majda Mučić was opened on Wednesday evening in the "Vitomir Srbljanović" Gallery in Pljevlja. This exhibition in Pljevlja is the 50th jubilee solo exhibition of the Montenegrin artist, who presented herself to the audience on this occasion with more than 40 paintings made in the oil on canvas technique.
The exhibition was opened by the President of the Municipality, Igor Golubović, emphasizing that this is an artist who opens up new horizons. In his speech, he compared her to the famous artist who left an indelible mark on the world level - Frida Kahlo.
"Majda Mučić's rich biography and the academic title she acquired very early, the significant awards and recognitions she received, tell us that she is an artist who opens new horizons for us with her creativity, with her palette of colors, motifs and style, leads to the limits of the unreal, imaginary, distant world, and again, through the motifs and theme of the old town architecture, brings us back to reality and the framework of the real. Majda Mučić is our contemporary Frida Kahlo, an artist who bravely treads the paths of life and art, her many consonances are the fighting exclamations of life but also the gentle whisper of a soul that wants to share, give gifts, give gifts for the sake of that inner, undemanding speech that speaks to us most clearly with a picture. "Majda takes us through a diverse and differentiated thematic vocabulary - from old town architecture, landscapes to quotations from works of art history and a whole imagined distant world through which her real and dreamed journeys lead her," said Golubović, quoting art historian Anastazija Miranović, MSc.
On the occasion of her 50th independent presentation, Mučić presented one of her paintings to the Pljeval gallery
The director of the Pljeval Gallery, academic painter Belis Pojatić, said that Majda explores the world around her in her paintings.
"He dwells on the familiar scenes of the architectural heritage, but occasionally he goes into a world dominated by figuration set in a surreal environment. Whether he deals with concrete or imaginary motifs, he shows refined sensibility and perseverance in every work," said Pojatić.
Majda Mučić was born in 1979 in Podgorica. She finished high school and the Faculty of Fine Arts in Cetinje, majoring in painting, in the class of Professor Smail Karail. He has been a member of the Association of Fine Artists of Montenegro since 2004. She exhibited at several independent and collective exhibitions. The last time Mučić exhibited in Pljevlja was in 2011, and at that time it was her 27th solo exhibition. Now, on the occasion of the 50th independent presentation, Mučić presented one of her paintings to the Pljeval Gallery.
