Catalogue text – Sanja Smiljanić conceptualized her relationship with nature. The artist transposes various landscape and natural phenomena into authentic sculptural solutions. Most often, these are “puzzle” sculptures – with which the artist reveals the “secrets” of nature, reexamines the basic sculptural elements (material, mass, space) and sovereignly defines her own aesthetic system.
