Metka Krašovec, akvarel, februar, 2009

»Metka Krašovec premore v svojih predalih obilico malih akvarelov, ki nastajajo že leta in so v resnici intimne meditacije na temo. Mali utrinki, pomisleki ali samo vprašanja, ki jih Metka zapisuje na papir. To so hitri zapisi, včasih že kar podzavestni. Človeške figure delujejo skoraj kot grafični znaki, ki plešejo nenavadno koreografijo v breztežnostnem stanju. A vsaka podoba ima svojo jasno likovno sporočilo. Enostavnost potez, s katerimi so upodobljene figure, zapleta govorica teles. Ta je tisti fokus slik, ki jih dela nenavadne in gledalcu zastavlja fine “uganke”. Mogoče celo avtorici sami. Ali pa so to že nekakšni odgovori, ki jih je treba le še dešifrirati. Lahko pa si to serijo slik razlagamo tudi kot izsek iz dnevnika čustev, nekakšen ples duha,« je zapisal likovni urednik Pavle Učakar.

O smrti vedel je, kar vemo vsi:/ da vzame nas in pahne v onemelost./ Ko pa je ona šla in se je zdelo,/ da mu je le zdrsela iz oči// in med neznane sence prestopila,/ in ko začutil je, da sta se zdaj/ njena milina in smehljaj / tam kakor mesečina naselila:// so mu postali mrtvi več kot znani,/ bili kot bratje so zaradi nje/ in ni verjel, kar govore ljudje,// trdil je, da leži na oni strani/ dežela vseh sladkosti in dobrot -./In je za njene noge zgladil pot.

Smrt Ljubice/ Rainer Maria Rilke
