I Am Explaining Some Things (Pablo Neruda)

A stylised figural composition with elements of fiction, in diagonal corner. In the bottom right-hand angle, a few human figures (babies) are floating towards the middle of the picture, moving from the depth of abstract surface. In the upper part is a series of anthropomorphic motifs with unusual physiognomies (tubular limbs). In the background is fantastic architecture. The experience on ship and islands undoubtedly influenced Kojadinović’s painting activity, selection of subjects and pictorial expression. On the other hand, this artist was equally inspired by uncertainty of globalisation, Christian teaching, the poetry of Pablo Neruda which he used to read, as well as national history, intertwined with turbulent events which struck Serbian nation in the last decades. By his big-sized realisations, mostly vertically positioned and painted in acrylic on canvas or plywood, the artist pulled us into his world, thus transmitting his experience and contemplations. The main characteristic of Kojadinović’s pictorial manner is instinctive intertwining of the realistically perceived and the unreal (J. Jovanović).
