Klementina Golija - More than a view

Klemetina Golija was born in Jesenice. She studied painting at the Accademia di Belle Arti in Milan, where she graduated in 1990 (Prof. G. Baruzzi, G. Maronicello). She continued her master’s studies at the Academy of Fine Arts in Ljubljana, where she earned a master’s degree in graphics (Prof. L. Logar) and painting (G. Gnamuš). She continued her studies in Boston, New York and Paris. She has had over 120 solo exhibitions and participated in more than 300 group exhibitions at home and abroad. She has received numerous recognitions and awards for her work. This time we are presenting it in Kamnik as part of a joint project – exhibitions entitled More than a view, where several institutions participated – Intermunicipal Museum Kamnik – Miha Maleš Gallery, Museums of Radovljica Municipality – Šivčeva hiša Gallery, Regional Museum Ptuj- Ormož – Mihelič Gallery and Gorenjska Museum. Under the auspices of all of them, an extremely beautiful and transparent monograph by the painter was created, designed by Barbara Kokalj Bogataj.

“With a recognizable artistic language and a developed sense of drawing, composition and colour, she transfers her life to the canvas, where images full of symbols and universal artifacts mysteriously address us and never leave us indifferent. With her engaged artistic creation, Klementina Golija has thoroughly intervened in the Slovenian fine arts space from the end of the 20th century onwards with her starting points in contemporary modernist painting. ” (record from the catalogue More than a view, Stanka Gačnik)

The works of the painter will be presented by ddr. Damir Globočnik.
