One of the crucial characteristics of contemporary information society is
the inundation of images. Manipulation with images makes possible to control
the basic human needs, drives and functions as if they were commodities.
These processes led by the mass media and advertising technology are
increasingly shaping our institutions and our very identity.
The images of commodities are thus entering all levels of society, and the
cultural sphere is not excluded. The images that we are constantly faced
with are sometimes recoded and transposed in commercial use, but can be also
appropriated in the realm of art, what was particularly present in the
practice of Pop art.
The motive of the series of paintings by Sasha Lozaic   is exactly one of the
icons of consumerist culture in Europe, the candy Mozart’s . Lozaic position and strategy as artist is not to passively contemplate on the aesthetic issues, but to actively read and observe the messages coming from the commercial and media world and to manipulate with the codes and images that we are saturated with. He is taking the famous, almost iconic motive to play with the issues of representation by blurring the recognizable image of Mozart from the famous sweets and transforming it into a self-portrait and
portraits of other people. With this gesture Lozaic is posing the question of the altering and even loss of identity of the individual in the globalizing tendencies of  consumerist culture.
