- This series of pictures was made as an inspiration during my stay in Prague when I met Roma from ten countries and got to know their way of life and the discrimination they faced. In the discussion of those topics, the inspiration appeared to paint the emotions that I had at that time and in an abstract way. It is very important for an artist to convey to people part of his thinking about how important it is for Roma not to be discriminated against. Note Ivan Predar, a painter from Novi Sad, where in 2014 he was selected as one of the 5 most successful Roma students in Serbia.
He mentions that his painting theme shows the situation of the Roma and something that has been rejected. Ivan believes that discrimination is a centuries-old layer that is always repeated. That is why he says that similar actions are needed not only in culture and art, but also in the social sphere, in politics and in other fields.
