"Turquoise" Painting

I am a self-taught artist, living on the outskirts of Croatia's capital. My love for art goes back to my earliest childhood – when my grandmother would give me a drawing pad and wooden crayons next to a bowl of oatmeal.
I am strongly and genuinely associating myself with the abstract expressionist/art informel movements, in particular their interest in psychoanalysis, having myself obtained a PhD in psychoanalytical theories.
My art is, hence, abstract, unpredictable, gestural, reflecting my inner current state of being. I do not paint with the intent to please the viewer – in fact, I have been told quite a few times that some of my works evoke the feeling of unease, or are disturbing, which I have taken as a compliment.
To me, creating an art piece is a process, arguably more important than the final product, in that it embraces artists’ search for a meaning, scratching beneath the surface, interrogating, and analyzing the extent of both the conscious and the unconscious, somewhat leaving aside the aesthetics. It is solely their imprint, their true Self that they leave on canvas (or paper for that matter). That is the essence of art.
I am in love with the process, allowing myself to grow continuously, to experiment, to not restrain myself, remaining authentic and spontaneous, making a mark in the world of art while preserving my unique artist signature.
I am a member of the Croatian Association of Fine Artists (HDLU), which is the umbrella association of Croatian artists. My works have been sold all over the world including the UK, Europe, the USA, Australia, Japan, as well as used for book and magazine cover pages.
