The Artist
Stevo Mandic is a painter, illustrator and graphic designer based in Belgrade (Serbia).
His series of drawings “Update yourself daily” are records of everyday questions and searching for answers – who are we now, where are we going, is it really us, how to manage tomorrow, where, why, can we, are we afraid…
The Alter Ego in his drawings is alive and kicking, it serves to provoke our “real” person. A battle that lasts forever and where the winner is always alternating, or there never is one. Some of the stories he recorded as metaphorical drawings, some as short, purified thoughts. That is what he suggests to the reader as well – to visualize the stories by him-or herself, or to “read” the drawings in their own way, to add to it, to finish it. The drawing and thoughts are a diagnosis, and an observer can seek for the medicine in his-or
herself each day.
The best under sun!

An apology
More-less, equal!
We are all living a great equation. Plus, minus, open brackets, divided, sinus, minus, closed brackets, minus, multiply, square root, plus, open brackets, minus, squared, plus, minus, divided, multiplied, minus = 1
Viewpoint
I love Impressionism. I love Expressionism. I love Surrealism. I love Symbolism. I love Abstraction. I love you. Realism.
Knockout
I choose little, so that I could have a lot. Because when I accept that little is enough, everything is more than enough for me.
Attitude
We often lie because that way we are making it easier for someone. We often say the truth when we want to hurt someone.
Tango
Why do adults grow old and children grow? Doesn’t a second of growing old last as much as a second of growing? You decide whether you are growing or growing old! You cannot return to your infancy, but you can still learn again to walk, talk, listen, love, breathe…
Mirror
A mirror is more than the reflection in the mirror. The image in the mirror is always fake. Because, your left is always right in the mirror. That’s why, when you look into the mirror, don’t believe everything you see, it is inconsistent. Your real mirror is what you do to other people.
