Dvornik Iris Bondora – Impression from the Mediterranean 2

She was born in 1952 in Zagreb. She graduated in painting from the Academy of Fine Arts in Zagreb in the class of Prof. Nikola Rajser. She is a member of HDLU, LIKUM, and BBK (Association of Professional Artists of Bavaria). Since 1980, she has begun a successful exhibiting career presenting solo exhibitions in Poreč, Zagreb, many cities in Germany, London, Udine, as well as numerous group exhibitions. She stepped onto the art scene at the right moment, at the return to painting. From the beginning, devoted to personal iconography, she chooses the human figure as a lasting motif and metaphor, using a wide spectrum of visual techniques. Today, she paints with strong brushstrokes and newly acquired gesturality, oriented towards a coloristically strong expressive palette and disturbing composition with a pasty application but visible graphic elements.
