Silvana Konjevoda

I am a visual artist and painter based in Rijeka, Croatia. I graduated in Visual Arts from the Faculty of Education in Rijeka, specializing in Graphic Arts and Applied Graphic Design.
Painting is at the centre of my artistic practice. My work explores the relationship between abstraction and figuration, drawing inspiration from memory, everyday experience, gesture and intuition. I am interested in transforming familiar forms and visual impressions through colour, layers and spontaneous painterly interventions.
Alongside my artistic practice, I work as an art educator. Since 2008, I have participated in numerous selected and juried group exhibitions and held several solo exhibitions in Croatia and internationally. My work has been exhibited in Croatia, Slovenia, Serbia, North Macedonia and Germany.
I have received numerous awards and recognitions for my artistic and educational work, including the Grand Prix at the International Painting Ex Tempore in Grožnjan, as well as awards at international painting and watercolour competitions.
I am a member of the Croatian Association of Visual Artists Rijeka (HDLU Rijeka) and the Croatian Association of Visual Artists of Istria (HDLU Istre).
I live and work in Rijeka, Croatia.

I graduated in Graphics in the class of prof. Josip Butković in 1990 (Rijeka/Croatia) and obtained the title of Master of Fine Arts.
