- Paris is a metaphysical ship. It is an ancient city that some- how has its own mantra. Under that metaphysical form it is a ship that is sinking, then rising, before sinking again. After all, we are all living under crises to varying extents. Cities and people and flora and fauna – notes this painter. The Parisian public has had the chance to see everything that inspires Mata at his exhibitions in the Château of the Insti- tut de France’s Hall of the Duchess of Kaena, in the Culture Centre of Serbia, as well as at the Municipale Julio Gonzalez” and “Ann Tschopp” galleries. His paintings are inspired by various themes, including overcoming doubt, and its good and bad sides. Ne- manja’s works also attract attention with their unusual names. The pictures in his graphic print series of aluminium plates, cre- ated in 2013/14, he calls Psoriasis... - The phenomenon of that ailment was more of an internal thing for me. This is a description of the internal puffiness, peel- ing, tearing skin and rashes. The actual life of an inner abomina- tion, such as man is – he highlights. Among the themes of his paintings are feelings towards close or distant things. He notes that there is a bit of a mechan-

– Pariz je metafizička lađa. Drevan grad, ima neku svoju mantru. Pod metafizičkim podrazumevam jednu lađu koja tone, pa se uspinje, pa ponovo tone. Uostalom, svi živimo u krizama različitih razmera. I gradovi, i ljudi, i flora, i fauna – ističe slikar. Sve ono što Matu inspiriše publika u Parizu mogla je da vidi na njegovim izložbama u sali vojvotkinje od Kae- na u Palati Francuskog instituta, u Kulturnom centru Sr- bije, kao i u galerijama Munisipal Hulio Gonzalez i En Čop . Njegove slike inspirisane su različitim motivima, a među njima preovladava sumnja, njene dobre i loše stra- ne. Nemanjina dela privlače pažnju i neobičnim nazivi- ma. Slike iz njegove grafičke serije aluminijumskih tabli, nastale 2013/14, zovu se Psorijaza . – Fenomen te bolesti je za mene bio više stvar ente- rijera. To je opis unutrašnje podbulosti, perutanja, cepa- nja kože, osipa. Stvaran život jedne unutrašnje gnusobe kakav je čovek – naglašava on. Među motivima na njegovim slikama nalaze se i ose- ćanja prema bliskim ili dalekim stvarima. Ističe da u sli- karstvu ima pomalo mehanike, ali da njega tehnička stra- na ove umetnosti ne zanima previše. – Za mene kažu da sam pesimista u slikarstvu. Me- đutim, to je školska kategorija, a sve školske kategorije su smešne. Čovek poput svih drugih bića živi i pokuša- va da bude ono što radi. U tom slučaju ja sam umetnik koliko je to moguće – ističe on.
