Naked Maya Print

I was born in 1991 in Western Serbia. At the age of 18, my previous personal curiosity and indulgence in art spontaneously turned into praxis. Soon enough I have realised I wanted to pursue painting, initially a cause close to my heart, as the main occupation in life. In 2009 I started taking preparatory art classes. During that period, I have had the opportunity to learn, test and practice the vast theoretical and practical knowledge provided by eminent art professors. I am particularly proud that I have managed to wholy absorb that experience and remodel it according to my personal expression into personal methodology and a superb painting skills toolkit, determined to push it further to develop. It represented a crucial stepping stone after which I enrolled The Faculty of Philology and Arts in Kragujevac, Central Serbia, Departement of Wall Painting, and graduated in 2015. To my great surprise, the word has spread from my home region to Kragujevac. The faculty dean had previously been introduced to my work and wished me a warm welcome into the academic community of artists. The academic envirnonment felt entirey natural. The art has been treated as a cause to be carefully cared of, practised and nurtured. I was introduced to an entire range of painting methods and skills, and strongly ecouraged to incorporate them all in personal expression. Three months after I graduated, I moved to the capital in order to continue my studies. In Belgrade, I am currently taking master course at The Faculty of Applied Arts, Departement of Applied Painting. This next step represents a concrete and practical developing path with the main goal of presenting my work to the world.
