Balance within and without Print - Limited Edition of 1

Dragan grew up in a city Sarajevo at a time where it literally was a city of east meets west, with Dragan living right on the dividing line, participating in this interaction. Over his time as a freelancer and of free spirit, Dragan has been involved in a variety of lines of work, and as is always the case, that variety of experience has helped tremendously, to shape and help evolve who he has become as an artist. All of his inspiration is intimately connected with the real world, with a real interest in probing into how it appears that we seem to deliberately live in contrast to nature. This was a driving principal for Dragan creating his Workshop For A Better World. Dragan spends all of his time, effort and energy filtering his thoughts through his creative imagination processing centres, which are always a mixture of mind, colour, shape and sound. In this way, Dragan looks forward to finding the best connection between the depth of his feelings and the environment, and to form images, which are made to communicate with them. Dragan approaches a large range of topics which keeps his work novel and contemporary, while also remaining timeless, and which is always delivered from a perspective that offers hope. Dragan loves to present playful works designed to provoke deep understanding of topics that often go unnoticed or are undervalued by the current socio-economic paradigm, and he does this with a refreshing and delightfully inventive perspective. As a man who sees the world for what it is every minute of every day, Dragan once said “my most solid foundations under me are my energy and my ability to imagine, everything else levitates within reach of my arms in time and space. The future is the only direction I follow and the past and present I use just as a walking sticks on this trip”. www.draganmartinovic.com
