Marjan Cernigoj

A BRIEF HISTORY 

The fourth child of a large family, he was was born on June 4, 1946 in the village Otlica, near Ajdovscina, in what is now known as, Slovenia.

The land, winds and the Mediterranean climate had a great influence on his way of life. He tried to express the features of his surroundings and the tough struggle for existence in different ways.

In this search he came across metal. This material offered him resistance and cooperation, the life around him provided motives. His constant inventiveness in the field of welding was often crowned with first awards for the best welder in ex Yugoslavia this gave him an additional incentive to further explore metal processing.

He founded a unique mode of expressing himself through welding and grinding. The vast experience he accumulated in his working life has been integrated in his work, giving his art additional value and assuring that each piece of art is unique and inspired.

An in exhaustive source of his creations is inviting the visitor to reflect and to think in his own way with a scope to find pleasure in it and to reveal the intention of the artist. Some of this work can be seen in these pages.

The Artist at work

Abstract from "The Critique"

SLOGAN

It is not one's fate to meet with success, It is the longing to succeed that one is born with and that proves to be the greatest success of all to help expressing what is inborn.

Once the climax is reached in any profession, art is born out of work.

Knowledge, commitment and ability to create are united.
