Rezervat (nature reserve, bioreserve) is a term we usually use today to talk about the area of protection. Protecting nature from human destructive action, sometimes protecting people from other people. Enclosed spaces for the sake of well-being.
The painting Rezervat is an attempt to show the inner state of an isolated human being. The transformation that happens when we voluntarily or against our will find ourselves isolated from society, and all the places that make up our everyday life. The atmosphere of reconsideration. The place where our real aspirations might be shown, desires that we may have neglected in the pursuit of the often imposed desires and patterns of behaviour. Is there a “Rezervat” in all of us where we keep our own selves while we put on masks and play roles? Is what we keep in ourselves and what we encounter in the hours of isolation an idealistic image of ourselves while in reality, we play a role. Where is the boundary between role and idealization?
