Darko
Topalski - Biography
Born in Novi Sad, Serbia, May 21. 1976.
Showed interests in drawing, painting and photography from very early stage which are persistently developed. Attended courses, workshops and worked with other artists. Topalski hasn't finished art academy in Serbia.
Topalski has concentrated his artistic achievement working with different mediums being in a constant quest for further development of his painting and drawing skills.
“Art is a great challenge for me, because I’m always trying to create a new painting better than the previous one, setting certain tasks in front of me which are to be fulfilled. I like the very process of creation when you make something with the completely new value out of nothing. Each painting of mine has its story and exposes me in some way, some questions about things going on in my life, whereas for the person watching them they loom as revelations, offering every time something different."
Work also as graphic designer, web designer, web admin & developer.
From march 2006 to October 2009 worked at regional tv station Panonija as site admin as well as newscaster & editor/journalist
From
my perspective:
“For me Art is the simplest and purest form of communication.
Emotions, fears, moods, ideas…all that can be found in a work
of art – if you look at it in the right way. While working,
I completely surrender and open to it because the work of art
asks for total submission. In my case, the creation of a new
painting is a process that can take from several hours to several
months. I advance it undauntedly and openly, ready for new discoveries
and excitements. If I am to look myself through tarot, my card
would be 0 – the card of The Fool from The Great Arcane, the
card of those who are led by their dreams, ideas and hopes no
matter what others are telling, persuading, claiming…The card
I am aiming at is the card No.5, The Hierophant, which is achievable
only through work and experience, through overcoming and knowing
thyself. The card No.4 is something happening from time to time,
but rich is the man who believes in God and showing off with
everyday possessions is good enough just to cover one’s complexes.
Each new work emerges as a shaped part of its creator’s spirit
that continues to live a life of its own. I prefer the work
to speak for itself, letting others to experience and sense
its message, purpose and energy. Every art-work by its earthly
becoming, being and existing overcomes the boundaries of present,
approaching the eternal. The work of art stands not as much
as a part of the present as it represents the herald of the
present in the future, giving the artist as its creator the
touch of Eternal. When everything fades into silence remains
what we leave behind.

artwork of some other artist (because of theme or technique),
I have also these special moments when I practically see finished
painting that I have never seen before. Sometimes I dream it and
sometimes it’s that moment between dream and reality! After that
I made a drawing, but the most difficult thing is to paint that
painting as I “saw it” sometimes during the process of painting
something new emerges up, something I haven’t expected faces that
you see in one moment and faces that you’ve never seen before
at this work in the next moment!
