About The Artwork

This painting belongs to my most recent series of landscapes. The series focuses on the beauty of nature, and the destruction people are causing to it. The idea first came to me as I was reading about fires in Amazon that ravaged the lungs of the Earth. That saddened me deeply. The Australian fires inspired this particular oil painting. I saw the number of photographs of Australian towns, about to be engulfed in fire. The smoke and vicinity of flames were creating this ominous atmosphere; it seemed like an apocalyptic end of humanity. I knew I had to paint it! The sentence it the upper corner is a quote from the famous writer Franz Kafka: "SLEEP IS THE MOST INNOCENT CREATURE THERE IS AND A SLEEPLESS MAN THE MOST QUILTY." This quote seemed appropriate.

Contemporary artist living in Belgrade, Serbia. I received my Bachelor and Master Degrees at the Faculty of Fine Arts in Belgrade. During my studies, I had spent one year at the University of Applied Arts in Vienna. A member of the Serbian Art Association (ULUS) I have been interested in art ever since I can remember. As I was growing up I dipped my toe in lots of things, ballet, piano, singing, writing... At the age of twelve I met one elderly painter who fascinated me and gave me some lessons in painting. Becoming an artist was my dream at that time. I find inspiration for my work everywhere, in so many amazing artists both from art history and from contemporaries worldwide. Nature is also very important, especially plants with their juicy little details. But most of my inspiration, or what drives me comes from work itself. The more I paint or draw the more new ideas I have. When it comes to mediums and techniques, I mostly paint with oil colors on canvas. I find the oil technique to be the best medium for my urban landscapes. It has great flow and transparency which helps me depict the motion of the city's busy life and to work in layers. As for drawing I absolutely love it! I find it the most sincere of all techniques, where the artist is who he is. I use practically every medium or technique but ink is my favorite medium because it requires patience and focus and with it, I can really emphasize the details. I have had eleven solo shows and counting. I participated in a number of group shows, workshops, art camps and won the award at the Biennale of student drawing Serbia. My work is to be found in small private collections, in Austria, Germany, Hungary, and Serbia. If you are interested or have any questions about my work don't hesitate to ask me, I will be happy to answer.
