Tomislav Silipetar

He graduated from the Academy of Fine Arts in Zagreb in 2014, where he earned his
Master’s degree in painting under the mentorship of Igor Rončević in the Painting Department.
In 2015, he became a member of the Croatian Association of Artists (HDLU) and has since participated in numerous group exhibitions and held a significant number of juried solo
exhibitions.

He was awarded the Rector’s Award for Excellence in 2013, along with various other honors recognizing his contribution to art both in Croatia and internationally.

In his work, he predominantly uses acrylic, exploring themes of solitude, isolation, and
human existence within a judgmental society. His artistic style is characterized by a
preference for glazing and line, which he uses to counter traditional academic tech-niques and approaches to painting, emphasizing a search for expression beyond conventional "molds."

He has exhibited in Slovenia, Poland, Lithuania, Serbia, Canada, and the United States, where he also has numerous published works in various art magazines, ac-tively promoting contemporary Croatian art.

Since 2016, he has held the status of an independent artist.
