Budor Robert – Olive Tree 2

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 an associate in the master workshops of Prof. Lj. Ivančić and N. Reiser. He works as a freelance artist and, besides painting, is also engaged in book design and theatrical design. He has organized more than 20 solo exhibitions and participated in numerous 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 intimate landscapes created through layered filtering of color, in almost monochromatic fields where white appears as a pronounced exception, relief, but also a place of pure painterly gesture… His landscape is a space of abstract painterly action but also a spiritual, imagined, virtual one.
