Sebastijan Dračić – In Dreams 5

Born in Zagreb, Croatia, in 1980, Sebastijan graduated from the Academy of Fine Arts in Zagreb in the class of Professor Zlatko Keser in 2006. He has held several individual exhibition shows and has shown his work in important group jury exhibitions in Croatia (Zagreb Salon) and abroad (European and Mediterranean Youth Biennial in Skopje, Kiinstlerhaus in Vienna, New York, etc.). He has participated in a residential programme in Vienna and received several awards, among which the Erste award New Fragments. Sebastijan lives and works in Zagreb and is a member of the Croatian Association of Artists and the Croatian Freelance Artists’ Association. He held Pollok-Krasner Foundation scholarship for 2012/2013 and this year he participated in an international exhibition show in Ningbo in China (2nd Cee Contemporary Art). His work reveals a connection with the heritage of traditional painting, an awareness of the painting as a physical object and a perseverance in maintaining immanent laws of the medium.
