Budor Robert – Olive Tree 1

Born in 1954 in Zagreb. Graduated in painting from the Academy of Fine Arts in Zagreb in the class of Prof. Šime Perić. He was a collaborator at the master workshop of Prof. Lj. Ivančić and N. Reiser. He works as a freelance artist and, in addition to painting, is also involved in book design and theatrical design. He has organized more than 20 solo exhibitions and participated in many group exhibitions. In 2003 and 2005, he participated in the 4th and 5th Interbalkan Symposium of Visual Arts on the island of Samothraki as a representative of Croatia.

Budor’s painting is characterized by an intimate landscape created through layered color screenings, almost monochromatic fields where white appears as a pronounced exception, a relief, but also a place of pure painterly gesture… His landscape is a space of abstract painterly activity but also a spiritual, imagined, virtual one.
