About The Artwork
Swimmer is created from 15 Tintype plates. The full size of the image is 72cm x 92.5cm. The art work comes in the box with 15 tintype plates that you can easily attached to the wall by peeling off a protective sheet from the back side of the plate to stick it to any surface ( ones you piled the sheet at the back that side of the plate has a glue emulsion on it ) or taking it to the framing shop and have a nice frame put around, its up to you. Tintype plates are signed by metal stamp engraved into plate, sometimes i would scan my plates before i do engraving so you might not see it in digital file but physical plate is always engraved. The wet plate collodion is 19th century photographic process. It was in use at the time of American Civil War and it was a fairly complicated procedure. Whether making positives or negatives, from the time the plate is coated with collodion to the development, the collodion must remain wet or the plate loses sensitivity, you have around 10 minutes otherwise the plate starts drying off, when you work on the location in the hot weather as you can imagine you would get less then 10 minutes. A positive image on aluminium called tintype or ferrotype. For me tintype is unique because the plate that you see on the wall in a gallery it is the same plate that was in the camera, there is no negative, there is only one image its almost like a painting. I like to push it even further by hand colouring my plates, or scratch it, or pinching a text on the plate by using a metal letter stamps and hummer.

Embarking on an artistic odyssey, Zelko's journey is intricately woven with the transformative tapestry of personal experiences. Originating from the heart of former Yugoslavia, the indelible echoes of the Bosnian war in the early '90s distinctly contour Zelko's artistic identity. His creations, adorned with somber and introspective themes, become a poignant language, delicately conveying the profound interplay of vulnerability and control a testament to the defining events that have sculpted his existence. Recognised as a consummate artist, Zelko meticulously refines his craft through tireless self-teaching and daring experimentation. His paintings and photographs emerge as eloquent vessels, each narrating personal memories and inner perspectives infused with a profound emotional depth that resonates intimately with viewers. Within the realm of photography, Zelko masterfully employs the 19th-century wet plate collodion process, endowing his pieces with a timeless allure that speaks to the enduring essence of the human condition. In the artist's expression through paintings, Zelko ardently captures the delicate dance between inner energy and outward expression. Each piece encapsulates a singular moment, harmonising with the radiant energy flowing throughout the creative process. The artistic journey, a profound act of liberation, unfolds as Zelko releases his core essence onto the canvas. Layer by layer, sgraffito by sgraffito, he metamorphoses into a conduit, channeling inner energy into tangible mediums, thereby transforming the canvas into a vessel of profound expression. As Zelko's artistic odyssey unfolds, his dedication remains unwavering in exploring the profound connection between self-discovery and artistic expression. Now based in Australia, Zelko continues to push the boundaries of his art and exhibit his work to a global audience.
