About the author:
Born in 1954 in Zagreb. Graduated in painting from the Academy of Fine Arts in Zagreb under the class of Prof. Šime Perić. He was a collaborator in the master workshops of Prof. Lj. Ivančić and N. Reiser. He works as a freelance artist and, besides painting, is also involved in book design and theatrical design. He has organized over 20 solo exhibitions and participated in many group exhibitions. In 2003 and 2005, he took part 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 color filtering, with nearly monochromatic fields where white appears as a pronounced exception, both as relief and as a place of pure painterly gesture… His landscape is a space of abstract painterly action but also a spiritual, imagined, virtual one.
