In the combination of ideal and dream landscapes, places of pleasure and love, enclosed
gardens and springs with the water of life, the paintings from the cycle “The Invasion of
Myths …Between the Worlds” tell us the path from one’s self in the outer world to one’s
self in the inner world. This path leads to contemplation, to the search for bliss,
sensuality, love, and the inner fruits of the soul. The motifs of the dark, mystical, and
foggy forest and thicket, which are often found in this cycle of paintings, express the
unconscious states, impulses and longings that appear to be unavoidable on this path.
The introjected past also plays a role in this search. The ancestors appear in some of
the pictures of this cycle in the form of the different hypostases of many ancient
goddesses and goddesses known on the European continent since prehistoric times. The
ancient goddesses of Vinča* in Southern Europe later correspond to Trojana or Fricka in
Northern Europe. Lada and Vesna are the same as Freya, Mokoša, Aphrodite and Venus. The
original Gods Vinčas* like Trojan, Triglav, Svarog or Wotan. Perun in Slavs is the
same as Thunder, Thor, Zeus, or Jupiter. Even far away from her birthplace in the south,
Avramovic symbolically finds her ancestors in the north.
* The Vinča culture developed from the 6th to the 3rd millennium BC in south-eastern
Europe along the Danube basin, in the territory of today’s Serbia, Romania, Bulgaria and
Macedonia.
