Slobodan Stefanovic Kut is an academic painter, a member of the society of plastic arts of Serbia. Born in 1946 have had domestic and international exhibitions and have received several awards and acknowledgments. His work is deeply rooted in the essence of nature and the primal forces that sustain human life. Wheat—both as a tangible, life-giving crop and as a profound symbol of survival—serves as his primary inspiration. For him, wheat is more than a simple food source; it has been a vital element of human existence for millennia, sustaining communities and forming the foundation of countless myths and rituals that underscore humanity’s resilience.

Painting on both board and canvas, he seeks to capture this resilience and the timeless values essential to human survival. His pieces reflect the organic, raw textures of the land, incorporating elements that evoke the fertile and enduring quality of wheat fields. This texture reflects a tension he feels deeply as someone who lived through the Kosovo war. Witnessing such destruction impressed upon him the precariousness of life and the enduring spirit of those who survive amidst upheaval. His art is an homage to that spirit and an exploration of the core values—resilience, endurance, and strength—that guide people in times of turmoil. His work is also inspired by mythology, which offers symbols and stories that have helped people endure and overcome suffering. He is drawn to how mythological figures often embody the strength, patience, and hope needed to survive in difficult times. In his art, he blends these mythological images with depictions of nature, particularly wheat, to remind viewers of the power found in both collective history and the natural world. In his practice, each brushstroke is a reflection on survival, resilience, and the tenacity of human life. Through these paintings, he hopes to create a space where viewers can connect with the foundational elements of survival and find a sense of strength and continuity in the imagery of nature, mythology.
