Original artwork description
Title: Mr. Paja in New York
Medium: Acrylic on canvas + gold
Size: 120 x 80 cm
Year: 2025
Description:
Mr. Paja in New York • is a surreal and whimsical portrayal of a tiger-person elegantly dressed in a patterned suit, calmly sipping a martini in an eccentric interior filled with symbolic details. Behind him, three girls dance in a circle, playing *Ringe ringe raja*, a traditional children’s game from former Yugoslavia. In the lyrics of this game, “Čika Paja” is mentioned as the one who brings a golden egg, and here, he has brought it all the way to New York.
Through this playful and layered narrative, the painting bridges past and present, East and West, memory and imagination. The cityscape seen through the round window evokes the fast-paced rhythm of New York, in contrast to the strange, ornate stillness of the interior.
Mr. Paja, with his golden glasses and striped fur, represents the refined observer, a creature out of place, yet perfectly at ease in this dreamlike, symbolic world. The golden egg beside him becomes a surreal token of innocence, nostalgia, and absurdity.
Decorative patterns, vivid colors, and contrasting textures make this painting both bold and tender, inviting the viewer into a strange fairytale where folklore meets urban myth.
A celebration of imagination, childhood memory, and quiet rebellion against the ordinary.
