Artist Statement:
I have been extending and
contemporizing the tradition
of painting for over a decade
bringing together tragic and
compassionate images to
achieve harmony. The imagery
articulates a vision of my
observations of the world as I
chronicle ways in which people
assimilate within tragic
events. Violence leaves us
alienated and disturbed, and
yet, paradoxically brings us
closer together.
The sensuousness of the
painterly process and the
employment of formal
techniques allow detachment
from the dismal content to
achieve the state of
impartiality and artistic
objectivity. The process and
the final message of the
images strive to unify in the
end. ...

| Your Personal Biography |
I have lived in Croatia and Bosnia and Herzegovina through turbulent ex-Yugoslavian war, and left Dubrovnik, Croatia in 1997. After spending six months in Norrkoping, Sweden, I moved to Phoenix, Arizona in 1998. Graduate degree took me to Savannah, GA for a couple years, but I am back in Phoenix again.
My art education was long and thorough. Luka Sorkocevic Art Gymnasium in Dubrovnik, Croatia sharpened my drawing skills and ability to see, while in undergraduate studies at Arizona State University (BFA in Painting, summa cum laude) and graduate studies at Savannah College of Art and Design (MFA in Painting) I found my voice as an artist.
I have been exhibiting nationally and internationally. My work has recently been selected for a juried exhibition '31st Bradley International' in Illinois, and I am a featured artist in NEW AMERICAN PAINTINGS, issue 70. Look me up in this magazine in major US bookstores in June.
