Born in Sarajevo, Bosnia in 1987 years before the siege, I began to create art at a very young age. A coping mechanism eventually became my passion and I have been drawing and painting since the age of 5. Self taught, my work often and unintentionally depicts themes of transitional melancholy and a permanent emotional state of suspension created by loss and displacement.
