Biography
native of Bosanska Gradiska (Bosnia & Herzegovina), I currently reside with my family in St. Louis, Missouri. I have been creating metal-based artworks since 1990, when I shifted my energies from music to the visual arts. This continued when we relocated to Germany in 1992, and has increased in focus and output since arriving in the States in 1997. A member of the Best of Missouri Hands and Art St. Louis, I have exhibited my artworks throughout this state, including St. Charles and St. Peters. Galleries in Missouri, Pennsylvania, and California have displayed and sold my trees, wall sculptures, and home accessories for several years.
 
Statement
My work bears shadows of my past. Experiences formed in my homeland of Bosnia and Herzegovina, a country that for years has been plagued by destruction and war, triggered the desire to create and give shape to wonders of nature. My fascination with trees in particular became the overriding inspiration and key component in my visual vocabulary. In my trees -- made with different gauges of electrical copper wire and aluminum welding wire and rocks that I find or are given to me -- I aim to create the sensual, delicate, yet strong and dynamic curves that mirror nature's bountiful manifestations. The man-created trees form a perfect antithesis to the rocks, which nature has shaped during its countless and merciless cycles. In the past year, I have increased my focus on wall sculptures and home accessories such as clocks and vases. These pieces, made with scrap steel, aluminum and copper and often containing a high gloss, provide an even greater opportunity for truly artful living. Perhaps I have been more and more drawn to create them as I have come to feel more and more at home in these United States. Like all my work, they draw in and reflect a changing light, creating shadows, and encouraging contemplation of the contrasts that surround us.
