I was born in Dalmatia region and grew up surrounded by sea, pebble beaches, pine trees and mountains.

 

In 2007 I enrolled painting at the Academy of Fine Arts in Zagreb and got masters degree in 2012.

In 2013 begun to teach myself digital drawing.

​

The true imagination is something completely different from escaping into the unreal. None of spirt's ability dives and digs deeper than imagination; imagination is a great diver.

​

Area of my great interest is brain neuroplasticity (on which i did my master thesis). Other important areas that balance my creative process is figurative imagination: rainforests / in2 the wild, (neo)urbanism, sea and vespa. 

​

I choose process of transcendence to go beyond 'wor(l)ds' to convey what I need to convey visually; using our visual 'reality' as a clean slate that is gradually transformed into transcended worlds, where objects are often placed in juxtaposition, either using humor or chill or irony.

​

Each work is open to various interpretations and its title merely serves as a 'trial code' that helps to initiate interpretations. I pay attention that my works are also visually enjoyable/provocative, without burdening the mind.

​

I lived in Vienna, Austria and Granada, Spain.

Currently I am located in Zagreb, Croatia working as freelance artist (traditional and digital). 

​

My former education also includes BA & MBA degrees from Webster University, Vienna, Austria (1996 - 2001).

I worked in telecommunication and in graphic printing industry. I speak English, German and Spanish.

​

Member of Croatian Association of Artists, Zagreb (HDLU).
