I want to become a painter. Because my favourite character is Frida Kahlo. She was a painter and that´s how I grew fond of her. She was decisive, beautiful, had many animals which I also love. And she paints beautifully. ---------- „From5To95“ is an art project which serves as a platform for women´s stories and experiences.

My grandmother showed love through control and expectations. I think she put in a lot of focus, expectations and care into my mother and my mother then, as with every generation, distanced herself from that but also copied it into me and my sister. She made some changes in that transgenerational moment but a lot stayed alike. One of the stories from my childhood was when I painted her in first grade, I painted her wearing pants. The teacher asked me to fix that so that mother can be in a dress. I said, my mother doesn´t wear dresses. And she doesn´t. Later in life I realized that story tells a lot about the male/female figure in life.  ---------- „From5To95“ is an art project which serves as a platform for women´s stories and experiences.

My mother is a beautiful person. I love her. She is warm, simple, human rights defender, she was a union representative. When we were writing a test in school, next to the Government, we heard the noise and ran to the windows. I saw my mother waving a flag in the front row. And she succeeded. We are alike in that. The difference is that I am anxious, for her everything is simple. And I am more complicated and talk more. And the fact that I managed to break the chain: be silent and suffer. She inherited it from her mother and it goes way back. I was supposed to get it but when I was a little girl I came into the kitchen one day and said: When I grow up I won´t be the same as you. My daughters are even worse, they already raise their heads and fight for their rights. ---------- „From5To95“ is an art project which serves as a platform for women´s stories and experiences.

Happiness is when you reach the capacity to live through every moment completely, either happy one or an unhappy. That is happiness. When you are able to embrace the hard moments as completely and fully as the happy and easy ones. To embrace the hard times, live through them, to know that it´s tough but to feel it completely. To accept it even though naturally I would fight that. But I will experience that difficulty fully. When you reach that, that´s what I´m trying to do, then you can say you are happy. ---------- „From5To95“ is an art project which serves as a platform for women´s stories and experiences.

Women in Croatia are in catastrophical position. I don´t only see it on my college but on the street. I am sorry that women who could make a change don´t. I was on a lecture on feminism. There was talk about the quota system. For me it´s not important if we have 50% of women in the parliament. But for them to fight. If it´s an all women´s parliament and they don´t fight for their own right, makes no sense. ---------- „From5To95“ is an art project which serves as a platform for women´s stories and experiences.

When I was a child we were very poor. My father was an alcholic and promiscuous. He abused my mother. I was more of a man than a woman, I defended my mother as much as I could. I used to jump of my bed to his back and pull his hear and head to make him stop doing what he did to my mother. ---------- „From5To95“ is an art project which serves as a platform for women´s stories and experiences.

When I fell apart there were no centres for help, you go and see a shrink. He sat me down and gave me a paper with a circle on it. He said, I still get shivers, Renata, write down what you want. The hardest question. I want that my children… No what do you want? I want that my husband… Then I realized that I have a huge problem. ---------- „From5To95“ is an art project which serves as a platform for women´s stories and experiences.

I find position of women tragical. I´m not optimistic. The entire climate in the society goes in the direction to worse, not better. High positioned women instead of making progress, make us a counter favour. Men don´t realize the importance of that. Even when I say that men do this, women do that, that´s not good either. It´s supposed to be a mutual platform. ---------- „From5To95“ is an art project which serves as a platform for women´s stories and experiences.

When I was 44 I concluded I was not sorry for not having children. Maybe that was arranged like that, I never married. I worked a lot, all day long. In Yugoslavia and when I switched to private sector. With the situation in the country, I felt sorry for my children to grow up here. There was such a negative atmosphere in the country, I felt sorry. There was no sense to fight for truth, honesty, justice. ---------- „From5To95“ is an art project which serves as a platform for women´s stories and experiences.
