Ante Zivkovic Fosar, in the dialogue of factual expression of the segment of reality and its reflection, builds the picture with chromatic tensions which can be read not only by its artistic reasonableness but also by its substantial layer enhanced by the mentioned dialogue. Diversity of materials, that is the diversity between real and mutability of expression, strictness of touchable and its illusion in the glimmer of different palpability. The chosen theme is pretty logical because the sails on the sea play the game in which the tangibility of the artistic is reactivated by transformation. It is a kind of approaching abstraction since the colour acquires its autonomy over materialistic, although the motif is still guessed, that is, noticed both with the organisation and inner order. Zivkovic continuously reconsiders the origin and artistic echo by forming artistic horizon, with forms under and over, more or less marked limits, changing the intensity of chromatic values, thickness of coloristic field in which the brilliancy depends on the selection in the richness of palette and the wholeness of artistic scene because each segment is included in the happening of the unity. Contours of and their mutual blending, definitions and signs are interchanging in rhythmic stringing o the parts of painting giving it the charm of artistic pulsation. However, the colour is the mayor formal element of Zivkovic's painting, the colour bred in all parts of the surface, brought by recognizable dynamic gesture. Lines are compatible with the tension of composition, conquered freedom of building, derived from clear painting concept. Zivkovic is imaginative in the variations of theme, able to reach the peculiar form of artistic excitement in the relative imposition.
