For Serbian artist Jascur, landscape is also the means by which Jascur expresses an eternal conflict of mankind's temporality versus the eternity of God. Spirituality is a palpable experience in Jascur’s rich, painterly canvases. He applies paint in conspicuous swirls and eddies to enliven his vision of lush, pastoral scenes. His composition serves his theme of eternity's presence in nature through the interplay between the vertical and horizontal lines of his trees and the ever-present roads cut between them.
The intrusion of mankind's path into nature--the way towards home or perfection--is a potent, recurring theme in both his canvas and the poetry of his titles; this existential meditation anchors his work in the demands of the present, with all its limitations, but also in the eternal. To look upon the paintings of Jascur is to perceive the eternity hidden behind the present moment.
