A multifaceted visual artist with specialties in abstract, figurative, and traditional Javanese Wayang painting and mosaic creation, Dragana Mladenovic was born in Belgrade, Serbia. Her work is influenced by classical masters like Dürer, Botticelli, and Michelangelo, as well as by ancient sculptures from Mesopotamia and Egyptian wall paintings. Her extensive body of work, which heavily incorporates color and drawing, is full of vigor and vivacious life energy. The unconscious expression of internal impulses as the initial response to her surroundings is what is important in each of her works of art. She received her MFA in painting from Belgrade Art University in 1998. Mladenovic has participated in more than 50 group exhibitions and over 25 solo exhibitions across more than six countries, for which she has won numerous prizes. She presently resides in Tivat, where she recently finished a public project for the Porto Montenegro luxury complex with a mosaic that covers 9.4 square meters.
