Art work


I began to work with art in 1998.

In 1999, I was suffering from acute leukemia. Then I used visual art as a kind of psychotherapy. I was dealing with something that could be named a semi-automatic drawing, or a work in the spirit of surrealists and art brute painters.
In 2004, when my health condition stabilized, I began to be interested in abstract art, especially geometric abstraction. The tendency towards mathematics and chess, as well as studies in electrical engineering, have particularly affected their own research and art practice.

Although my abstract works are entirely created on a computer, I would say that they, besides the rational geometric expression, offer a new sensitivity, perhaps inconceivable for the medium on which they were created!

With an abstract image I will show my inner sensibility and personal poetics. I will try to instill the sensibility and understanding of geometric abstraction in the viewers. I offer them my impression of geometry and enchantment with color.

1999. I left the electronics study (Faculty of Electrical Engineering Nis) after acute leukemia. After the stabilization of health, I dedicate myself to art.
2005. I completed IT training at the Faculty of Natural Sciences and Mathematics in Nis, Serbia
2022. I completed an eight-month specialist IT training
