“Navitrolla is an odd phenomenon in Estonian and, why not, the world’s art landscape. I can confirm it. I’ve worked with him for over 20 years. At the beginning of the 1990s, Võrumaa’s poet Ülle Kauks gave Heiki his artist name. Heiki Trolla became Navitrolla – Trolla, from the village of Navi. That’s how it all started, and what followed was years of hard work: passionate painting, engraving images to plates, traveling, collecting ideas, putting them down on paper, working on his techniques. Navitrolla’s artworks are not solely pictures. They are stories. They make the viewer dream and narrativize. As the viewers approach his paintings, they walk into his world. It all seems simple, at first, even childish. It’s the joy that comes first. Then, as the focus deepens, a discovery. The paintings start to talk. The viewer becomes consumed by this world. All of a sudden, they know what happened there before Navitrolla captured the moment with the brush. And what came after. The stories change, as each viewer makes the painting their own. It is precisely that, that is the secret charm of Navitrolla. He makes you dream, adds small bits of happiness to your life. He saves us from everyday greyness.”
