To enter the world of dreams, the realm of the otherworldly and mystical, which eludes the criteria of the realistic, requires not only courage but a special gift. It requires the imagination to reveal what is hidden beyond simple reality, seen through the artist\u2019s \"inner eye\"\u2014scenes, creatures, and worlds that exist in our nightmares but also in daylight, in the occult, macabre, and surreal reality that, I am convinced, is closer to the secret and essence of our existence than what is visible and everyday. I do not wish to succumb to the temptation of detailed interpretation or explanation of the motifs in Veljko Valjarevi\u0107\u2019s paintings. The pleasure of discovering diverse meanings is left to each viewer individually.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Filip David (excerpt from the catalog text)<br>Photographs: Sr\u0111an Jankovi\u0107<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Video: Milan Petrovi\u0107<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Vrt Se\u0107anja - Izlo\u017eba Veljka Valjarevi\u0107a\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/D49wAYV_z0M?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"template":"","izlozbe":[8],"class_list":["post-2344","izlozbe-cpt","type-izlozbe-cpt","status-publish","hentry","izlozbe-prosle"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/galerijasanjaj.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/izlozbe-cpt\/2344","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/galerijasanjaj.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/izlozbe-cpt"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/galerijasanjaj.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/izlozbe-cpt"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/galerijasanjaj.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2344"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"izlozbe","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/galerijasanjaj.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/izlozbe?post=2344"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
