Dvornik Iris Bondora – Impression from the Mediterranean 3

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