Red Cheeks Painting

Born and raised in Croatia, I have expressed myself through art for as long as I can remember. Even as a child, drawing came more naturally to me than words, becoming an essential means of communication and self-understanding. At the age of 14, I made the pivotal decision to leave my family home and pursue a formal artistic path in another city. Despite occasional detours, my commitment to art has remained unwavering ever since. At the core of my creative practice lies honesty. I work from a place of vulnerability and introspection, striving to translate inner experiences into visual language with clarity, trust, and emotional courage. My work primarily investigates human relationships—familial, romantic, and social—and the ways in which they shape personal identity. I am particularly drawn to the tension between self-perception and how we are perceived by others, as well as the process of image-making itself and its reception by the viewer. In that exchange, a new dimension of being is revealed. I currently live and work in Dubrovnik, Croatia.
