Anita Jokovich

Anita Jokovich is a Bondi based, abstract painter who uses the ocean and its surrounds, as inspiration for her work. Her work is intuitive and gestural, creating forms that appear and disappear amongst layers of paint; allowing the viewer to be immersed and inspiring imaginative thought. The technique of layering paint to create dark and light are likened to the perpetual motion of the water and the style contrasts the calm and brutal forces of the sea. Anitaconveys an emotional intensity in her work through the painting process to portray divergent emotions onto the canvas. In 2015, Anita was part of the Waverly Artist in Residency programme at the Waverely School of Arts.
