Biography
|
|
I was born in Yugoslavia in 1953. I am a self-taught painter and have been tutored by various accomplished artists in Europe and Canada. Also I hold a master degree in Electronic Engineering working whole my career as a specialist for Computer Vision and Image Processing. A new chapter in my life began when I moved to Canada with my wife and two sons in 2002. In recent years, I have returned to my old love, painting.

Statement
|
|
Every artist approaches their work in a different way. I like to think that my creations are born from a process of creating music that can be seen. I start with an empty and silent stage of white canvas. Then, I gradually introduce and bring to the stage my brushes using them as musical instruments that produce the colors, texture, rhythm and harmony. The process is finished when I hear visual harmony coming from my painting.
With a background in still life and landscape painting, I have discovered that I feel true artistic freedom when creating non-objective abstract painting. Now I enjoy the playful dancing back and forth across the boundary lines between representational forms and abstract. My work today can best be described as contemporary abstract landscape and cityscape. I am interested in treatment of textural surfaces combined with glazing techniques that brings vibrant colors to my work.
