draws on disparate stories from her homeland of Serbia and her life in Canada as she seeks to reconcile her relationship to place. Her painting, mixed media and textile works are informed by ethnographic histories, Balkan folklore and empathetic observation.” Anna Luth, Curator https://www.mirkov-popovicki.com/writer daily 0.75 2025-09-09 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e41d87580decd0ae433054d/1586320979731-O92P53KWASD8NK1GC749/Copy+of+Untitled+Design+%285%29.jpg Writing Helby Island Afternoon painting featured on the cover of Pulp Literature Issue 31 (Pulp Literature Press) https://www.mirkov-popovicki.com/new-page-1 daily 0.75 2020-11-07 https://www.mirkov-popovicki.com/displaced-statement daily 0.75 2026-03-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e41d87580decd0ae433054d/1750553190861-01JMYLGTTYRI4A83FY9R/Tatjana+Mirkov-Popovicki+Evergreen+06.jpg About Displaced Topologies - Displaced Topologies The Displaced Topologies collection explores the concept of belonging to disparate cultures within the context of storytelling, ancestry, deep history, displacement, borders, and both hard and soft man-made structures, as well as records of fractures, disintegration, and rebuilding. It gathers artworks that symbolize structures, documents, and humans connected by the conditions of migration, displacement, and cultural heterogeneity. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e41d87580decd0ae433054d/298ccfe9-1e47-40f8-89b9-af8fa5f496f4/20250718_101732.jpg About Displaced Topologies In this series of works, I use an abstract visual language to express a dichotomous cultural identity and to ponder the question: As displaced people, how do we create a sense of home and build community in foreign places? What is the contribution of displaced people to the future? Displaced Topologies defies the limitation of any one cultural gaze. I don’t consider myself a Serbian artist in the Canadian diaspora or a Canadian artist with Serbian roots. Creating art in this culturally ambiguous way is my assertion that the in-between state of the displaced is neither temporary nor a place of inadequacy. It is a generative space with tremendous potential for fostering communication in the multicultural future. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e41d87580decd0ae433054d/1755324744229-9Q578SAP1QO789YX63DR/03.+Installation+view+of+Multitudes%2C+AGE%2C+2025.+Rachel+Topham+Photography%7E2.jpg About Displaced Topologies Home Abroad (2023) and Morning Star (2024) are experimental artworks that paved the path for Displaced Topologies. The sewn canvas collages approach evokes a relocated kind of life where the parts may originate from different cultural worldviews, forming something new. Minimalist compositions are juxtaposed with the chaotic, galactic-looking patterns, which signify making order out of chaos, akin to making a home in the pandemonium of a displaced life. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e41d87580decd0ae433054d/43591af3-8dc7-4952-8ca9-4c59d40cf62d/IMG_20250702_114345.jpg About Displaced Topologies Sediments of Time (2024-2025) is a group of canvas collage paintings on stretched canvases hung in a bricolage pattern. The surface of the canvas is interrupted by tearing, fraying, and layering, evoking trauma but also breakthroughs and new perspectives. Three-dimensional forms of folded textiles are flattened into patterns through line drawing, repetition, collaging, and removing the shapes, which are positioned into a lineup of alphabet-like symbols that articulate dynamic gestures evocative of pictorial writing. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e41d87580decd0ae433054d/6eff374e-6fbb-425c-a647-28711681ec69/Tatjana+Mirkov+RTP++004.jpg About Displaced Topologies The Four Buildings (2025) diptych references the roof shapes of four specific utilitarian buildings from my two homelands, suturing the distant cultures within a unified context. One pair of rooflines represents the travelling hubs I have frequented, both having the power to facilitate and disrupt migrations. The other pair represents the universities I have attended in the two countries, homes of enlightenment, disillusion, and activism. Each pair of buildings connects geographies and power structures of travel and education in Serbia and Canada in an upside-down way, as one may think of them being on opposite sides of the globe, world politics, and positions of power. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e41d87580decd0ae433054d/23931d93-2c43-439a-beff-d201c06bdb2e/IMG_20250716_094955.jpg About Displaced Topologies Remnants of Time (2025) is a series of woven human-sized banner-like artworks. The woven pieces with warp/weft structures manipulated by tangling, unravelling, and pooling refer to the soft structures experienced in intimate places and symbolize the management of adverse situations within ourselves. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e41d87580decd0ae433054d/76bdb41c-d470-495d-8365-6ebc2fa18bac/20250718_102758.jpg About Displaced Topologies Haphazard Structures (2024-2025) are mixed media drawings and embroidery on unframed raw canvas off-cuts. This body of work examines physical structures, such as buildings, and conceptual ones, such as bureaucratic structures, related to migrations. The materials reflect my need for frugality and repurposing, and the scarcity mentality familiar to many migrants. I used the thread from a big bag of embroidery floss remnants I inherited from my mother, connecting the fragile family structure to the artwork. https://www.mirkov-popovicki.com/about-eternal-domicile daily 0.75 2026-03-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e41d87580decd0ae433054d/b35a8929-f597-49be-ab77-cfaa980f2f92/IMG_20221204_225414----_3.jpg About Eternal Domicile & Halcyon Days - Artist’s Statement Through my artwork, I seek to reconcile my relationship with the disparate places I call home: Serbia, from which I left as a young adult, and Canada, where I now reside. My paintings forge artistic connections between old and new cultural narratives through storytelling. My visual language explores the intersection of abstract expressionism and contemporary constructivism, characterized by evocative textures and collage-like compositions. The themes combine nostalgia for the naivety of Yugoslav utopia with present concerns of Western Canada, its complicated history, and endangered future. As I interweave the known with the unknown and the imagined, whether Serbian, Canadian, or multicultural, my curiosity about the aesthetics of this visual process continues to grow. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e41d87580decd0ae433054d/1727579264809-YZXJ015TX7JRUGC8499S/IMG_20240905_175231.jpg About Eternal Domicile & Halcyon Days The Eternal Domicile (2022-2024) series of abstract paintings, titled after the iconic poetry verses by the Serbian poet Desanka Maksimović, uses the metaphor of fragmentation to convey the internal conflict stemming from the loss of connection with one's original homeland and rebuilding a life in a new place. “One of the most challenging things contemporary art can do is produce a new language of emotion, a new way of understanding what we’re feeling now and how it is different from before.” Greg Borowitz https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e41d87580decd0ae433054d/e88ed8ec-1a83-46e5-a231-65b2d69bfb94/IMG_20240905_175519.jpg About Eternal Domicile & Halcyon Days Halcyon Days (2023) series explores the emotions associated with the broader concept of home. “The country we call home, the country we used to call home, and the country we dream to call home are all very distinct and disparate places. It is the result of a productive schizophrenia: we are in all of them at once, a ravishing sensation but one tempered by the slow, sobering devastation of never being in any one entirely.” Slavs and Tatars Art Collective https://www.mirkov-popovicki.com/introduction daily 0.75 2025-09-09 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e41d87580decd0ae433054d/1752888113808-RYWMS7WJ4GOIQ4DS5URF/Tatjana+Mirkov+RTP++002.jpg Introduction - Displaced Topologies https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e41d87580decd0ae433054d/1727579264809-YZXJ015TX7JRUGC8499S/IMG_20240905_175231.jpg Introduction - Eternal Domicile https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e41d87580decd0ae433054d/1727579162865-5QF36QU0J1X4XQUIA2LA/IMG_20240905_175519.jpg Introduction - Halcyon Days https://www.mirkov-popovicki.com/press daily 0.75 2026-02-12 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e41d87580decd0ae433054d/d92f1edf-18d8-4e5c-9565-91713c84ce30/u+n+r+a+v+e+l+-+8.5+x+11+poster.jpg Exhibitions - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e41d87580decd0ae433054d/58978869-e789-4275-b4dd-50025cb34ef9/Capture.JPG Exhibitions https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e41d87580decd0ae433054d/7cda0b14-641f-48d2-ab11-85134fa41169/2025_MFALR_PosterWEB.jpg Exhibitions - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.mirkov-popovicki.com/halcyon daily 0.75 2025-08-17 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e41d87580decd0ae433054d/1727579162865-5QF36QU0J1X4XQUIA2LA/IMG_20240905_175519.jpg Halcyon The Halcyon Days (2023) series of abstract paintings uses the metaphor of fragmentation to communicate the internal conflict stemming from the experience of displacement.
