About

I was born in Split on 1970.I live in Zagreb,Croatia.I have been the member of HDLU and Cino club "Zagreb". The cycle of paintings in front of you is called DIVERTIMENTO-tematically,it follows a chamber orchestra concert.Music was my greatest inspiration and motive , but musicians and their instruments inspired me as well.As for painters , I admired Picasso and Chagall-my work was inspired with the coloration of their paintings and composition of art elements -the impulse to explore my own possibilities.These paintings were made in the period from 1995. to 1996. Preliminary sketches for my paintings were made during the orchestra rehearsals and concerts. Since I am an artist without a studio, I worked near a fuel tank in a small room,hardly big engouh for a large canvas.I frequently painted on my knees,because if I stood upright in such a small room, my head would touch the ceiling so I could not stabd back from the painting.That is the reason why these paintings are especially dear to me ,and I saved most of them for myself because I felt I succeeded in spite of all difficulties.This was turning-point in my life and I dedicated myself completely to art in that cycle.After this cycle,the Way of the Cross was my only work painted in oil.Now I paint in my small apartment-still without a studio-have to avoid painting with oil because of my son so I use only acrylic paints.

Education
I am a sculptress,graduated from the Academy of Fine Arts (Department of Sculpture)in Zagreb 1993.Studied in Sarajevo until the beginning of the war.I carve stone since I was 16 years old,and it is my favourite sculptural material.Since 1997.,nine of my stone sculptures were placed in public places in Croatia.On my web site ,you can see a selection of my works-paintings,sculptures,films and design work(unique stone furniture)-and find more details about my work.I have been working with films lately,finding that medium quite fulfilling.My greatest wish is to have a studio for making stone furniture and sculptures.I will ccontinue with painting-painting is was what occupies most of my time (when not occupied with carving),painting is my idea of relaxation., Read More
