Tatjana Jovancevic

LATEST INTERVIEW:


Tatjana Jovančević was born in Bosnia and Herzegovina, one of the republics in former Yugoslavia. While she was an exchange student in the USA the war broke out in her homeland, and she ended up staying to finish her schooling. She currently resides in Kikinda, Serbia. Tatjana earned the BFA in Visual Communication from Northern Illinois University.

Art making has been a part of Tatjana’s life as far as she can remember–her father saved her first drawing from when she was two years old. Her main passion remains putting down marks on paper, but throughout the years she crossed over to other media as well

Her work includes works on paper site-specific interventions. Her art is influenced by the effects of being an individual from a war-torn country, loss of place of belonging, finding of the lost identity as well as by reflection on inner landscapes of psyche. She started exhibiting publicly in 2009 and since then she had one solo exhibiton two two-person shows as well as group shows including LUZ Artspace/Beverly Hills, Royal Scottish Academy/Edinburgh, Scotland, Cultivator/Chicago, Woman Made Gallery/Chicago, Portage ARTspace/Chicago, Calvin College/IL, Olivet Nazarene University/IL etc.
