"The piece is placed in the dramatic biographical elements of the great modern art Mark Rothko, whose artistic engagement represented the struggle for the concept of "great art", art that "matters" and has the potency to change the world, which lost the battle with populism that brought a new artistic direction Pop art. "Red" is a reckoning with contemporary Budva, with profanization, cheapening and galloping kitsch that have become symbols of this city, and on the same principle the piece communicates with Belgrade, a metropolis that was once a factory of art, good values and creativity, and today populism, banal media noise phenomena of the new age, such as the phenomenon of reality programs. Mark Rotko remained a great fighter for the concept of "great art" and a tragic victim of banalization and cheap entertainment that conquered the planet during the last decades," Marunović pointed out.
