Work
2013- In my works I am analyzing my emotions through my social, political and economical position as a woman artist from the eastern Europe, my cultural and family position. I could say that my work is also connecting with similar experiences of other women artists, whether we are talking about family decisions, isolation or carrier questions.

I am a Serbian artist who lives and works in Paris for 2 years, as I am married to a French citizen .My courent jobs are: babyseeter, part time iron and cleaning lady and a house wife. I divote my self to my artistic projects between these jobs.
In my country I am also known as Gastarbajter. Back home we see those people as “the lucky ones” who live in forain countrys and well-off (well provided).

Using analog photography I capture serten moments in my every day life and my surrounding. The captured (freezed) moments on the photos are after combined with my writings and drawings wich interprate my feelings, thoughts and experiences of those moments.
While I use photography in recording purposes, the drawings present a very conscious,intimate and emotional confesions. They present the things I truly feel and want to say. They are more truthful about those moments than any information given by the photo.
The two mediams and their differences present also the divisions in my life: devision between two countries, the reality and my inner world, devision between the artistic profesion and being a house wife, or one day a mother.


Many times exhibited collectively, participated in various collaborations,
and was awarded student of the year 2009. and 2010. by the Faculty of Fine Arts in Belgrade.
