"Ste. Maxime - France" Painting

I am born in Nova Varos - Serbia, Yugoslavia. I have spent childhood years in the town of Krusevac where I completed my formal education. To become a professional artist I undertook many private art lessons in Belgrade to enter the Art Academy. After my first solo exhibition in Belgrade 1980 I left University and I has been professional painter for the last 33 years. I had my own business and Art Gallery on the Island Korcula -Croatia from 1984 until 1990. Always searching for inspiration and to develop my unique style of painting I moved to London in 1991, with an Art Business Visa granted by the UK Embassy in Belgrade - Yugoslavia , living and working as a professional artist ever since. My preferred technique,a skill which I has perfected, is working with oil using palette knife.I also uses acrylic, watercolour and pastel and particularly enjoys painting architecture such as old towns, buildings, street scenes and castles. Other subjects that I paints include seascapes - marine, scenic landscapes, still life, nudes and abstract. I has exhibited and sold originals in various London Galleries, from my own studio and Internet galleries. My work is published by Rosenstiel's - Felix Rosenstiels Widow & Son Ltd.- Fine Art publisher since 1880.In adition other work is published by Gibson,the leading USA postcard publisher and by Abacus UK publisher. www:
