I was born May 25, 1990 in Subotica, Serbia. I finished my secondary school studies of product design in the printing industry in Subotica, then I graduated from the University of Szeged (Juhász Gyula Teacher Training Faculty) where my major was visual representation with specialization in painting.
Ars poetica
Although my painting is highly abstracted, we can discover worlds in the details – distant mountains, rivers, lakes and oceans, another world's moons and suns.
One of the pillars of my painting method is the planned, controlled randomness, the conscious placement of gestures that may seem accidental on the canvas. While building up the composition, I pursue to paint instinctively with freedom.
To quiet down the chaos, to balance these bold gestures, sweeping brush strokes and paint dribblings, I use geometric shapes – this way, a sense of harmony and calmness emerge in the restless composition.
I try to wake up the viewers’ minds, to attract their attention, to evoke emotions. I want to encourage them to step out of their comfort zone, to be involved, to discover; to be not just a viewer, but to be an active part of my art, to be inside of the painting, a resident of my world.
