BožIca Rakić

Božica R. is a Serbian visual artist whose graphite works delve into the surreal, symbolic, and psychologically charged. Her art is a delicate tension between darkness and beauty, dream and disquiet. Through hybrid figures, allegorical creatures, and emotionally resonant settings, she explores themes of transformation, identity, and the unspoken undercurrents of human experience.

With a background in traditional drawing and a deeply intuitive approach, Božica merges fine technique with conceptual depth. Her works evoke the timelessness of classical portraiture while weaving in contemporary irony, mythological references, and a haunting mystique.

Often working in monochrome, she invites the viewer into silent, immersive worlds where the boundaries between the sacred and the grotesque blur. Each piece serves as a visual riddle — poetic, unsettling, and emotionally intimate.

Her work has been recognized for its distinctive visual language and symbolic intricacy, appealing to collectors who seek artwork that resonates beyond aesthetics.
