Ognjen Raden

Born in Slavonski Brod (Croatia, 1975.) I live and work in Liznjan (Istria, Croatia) where we, my wife Natalija Grgorinic, our son Ljubomir and I, run ZVONA i NARI, an artist residency and a library. For the past 25 years Natalija and I have been engaged in literary work, publishing novels in both Croatian and English. In a sense, my visual work is continuation of our joint artistic preoccupations, another form of articulating ideas we share. It is also a manifestation of my belief that all art is an endeavor to both transform but also create and expand the world.
