“Recycling. A story which begins where all the others end. At a pile of garbage. It's where I go in order to save little pieces of glass, bits of metal, pearls which had been thrown away, it's where I go looking for wire... I go there because sometimes I think that also I am just a piece of a broken mirror. Pieces which I find I fit into a whole, giving them another dimension, and, in return, I get freedom... That's how my art is being born, my small-big "Installations for the neck", a mobile gallery hanging around the neck of a person who wears it...
My name is Marijana. I am an artist from a country which no longer exists. This country had a beautiful name. It was called Yugoslavia. “

CLAM MAGAZINE, JULY ISSUE

"When we speak about art, we cannot leave out the psychology of emotions by which its genuine tissue has been encircled for centuries. Even when we speak about conceptual art, we cannot exclude psychological emotive tones, through which its very concept is being grasped and experienced, regardless of the retinal perception which in many cases is the dominant factor in most forms of observation that we apply. The act of discovering the man, stripped in its sincerity, points out at the appropriateness of those artistic expressions which gradually lead us to immense and deep traces of the experienced emotions. In presented works of Marijana Zebeljan , one can find exactly such, in many terms characteristic and genuine, artistic expression."

NY ARTS MAGAZINE, 2006

"The visual wonderland . It is a connection of one constant, equal silence, quiet and peaceful, but In my vision it is also, at the same time, impregnated with a strong movement as the basic characteristic of matter. The movement which doesn't disturb the viewer but awakens in him new visions and old memories . This movement chiasmically brings into play the interiorization of a mythical time, time incarnated with long forgotten faces of the past. It is a trace or a thread of our need to finding a meaning to human finitude. In this manner, my work is in everlasting search for a true memory: memory which lies between oblivion and remebrance. It is precisely at the intersection of the two that our oblique relation to the past fills the void it had left in the first place. For me, the essence of the past is more real by being invisible and this is what my work tries to present. In other words, past never allows a complete representation of it self, and yet it seeks for it self. It is therefore icomplete or always ,ad hoc ,complete as traces or fragments which only allow a vague emerge of themselves. Approaching time in a form that can be embraced by hands, and in doing so, being able to "catch" one long forgotten instant, I bring back to life some old, forgotten faces of the past, giving them a surreal dimension. This is all in hope that they will get a second life on my paintings."
