An artist's desire to achieve a complete expression of his inner life is irrepressible and boundless. As much as the road of purification
of visual expression from the realistic to the abstract is well known, often seen, and thus not very unexpected, a perplexing metamorphosis
occurs in the experimental and contemplative development of Milos Jurisic. Suddenly, but not forever, abandoning his lifelong muse
the architecture of Belgrade the maestro immerses himself in the blue beginnings of the world, of prenatal growth,
seeing it with the eyes of his own dreams.
At the same time, walking the road towards the expected, inexorable ending, through boundless circles he metaphysically joins the
beginning and the end. Thus he points to the essential and exciting perception of the radiant, blue light of eternal being, awash in happiness.
In the artist' s new cycle, layers of experience formed by searching for catharsis, are not interwoven and do not cross each other; rather,
they are synthetically crystallized in the unconscious remembrazznce of life before life and the conscious penetration into life after life.
In the obscure striving for a solution, circles frame each other, at times dissolving into a four-leaf clover, signifying eternal joyous belief,
at others overflowing into the green breath of life. They are then symbolically crucified on the road to temporary disappearance; they flow
into a silent shadow, echoing an earlier existence.
It only appears that the maestro is led by intuition, when a cube, a vase, a bottle of perfume become objects of his eye' s and camera' s lens
their glassy, translucent fluidity ethereal in itself. If this wondrously experimental game seems accidental, it is only superficially so.
For Jurisic immerses himself in the blue, deep sea of life only to rise again into the philosophical resurrection of a new form of being, an
essential journey in continuo.
Inspired visions and vertiginous motions in the ecstatic blue circles create a belief in the inception which is also an ending.
The touch of water drops the beginning a striving for eternal being erases presentiments of the end.
Although colour reigns supreme in Milos Jurisic' s newest photographic achievements, its sensuality does not push other
elements into the background. The unique deep sea blue merges with the geometrically abstract composition, its pigment
helping the maestro to paint an ode to life which vaguely reminds us of The Ascent to light of Hieronymus Bosch.

Fathomless Blue
Although the reflections of the sky caught in the mirror of the water have always been disturbing for painters - rewarding only
those most patient ones, the azure photographs of Miloš Jurišić are signified as calming - disturbing ballads, through which
memory flows away into the Blue Vastnesses of the origin.
To say that they are hypnotic, to admit that, with their magic of foreshadowed silence, they invite to a dream which is hard
to abandon - is too much and too little.
From that other, for a long time primary - aquatorial dimension, Miloš Jurišić seems to bespeak....it is and it is not,
The Fallen Being - The Shadow of the Observer - called towards the Sky...
