"BALATON" Painting

I was born in Novi Sad (former Yugoslavia, now Serbia). After completing studies at the Academy of Fine Arts in Belgrade majoring in piano, I went to Germany and settled down near Frankfurt, where I worked as a piano teacher and as painter. In 2006, I opened my studio - in the historic district in the city of Passau and devoted myself to painting as a freelance painter. As a pianist, I am "only" an interpreter alien works. As a painter I have the freedom to create my own works, in which I can express my personal feelings, fantasies and thoughts in form and colour. It is an exciting process - from the idea to the finished picture - an everlasting creation from the experienced world and the world of fantasy, their contents, in the work process. Thus are the impressions which are found in them; whether loosely sketchy or more in detail. As an advocate of realistic painting (sometimes slightly abstracted), my themes are always human and world-wide. In contrast to some painters who like to write a subject, I need the diversity - both the variety of the pictorial ideas, as well as the painting techniques. Whether with brush or painting knife, oil, acrylic, pastel, watercolour or drawing -it is always an adventure, immersed in ever new worlds, in order to reproduce them in colour and form. I think the best thing for every artist is when the viewer can feel what we want to express with our work. I live and work in Passau, Germany.
