About the author:
He was born in 1975 in Karlsruhe, Germany. He graduated and obtained a master’s degree in painting from the Academy of Fine Arts in Široki Brijeg, University of Mostar. He is a member of the Association of Visual Artists of BiH (ULUBiH) and the Society of Croatian Artists of BiH (DHUBiH), and has exhibited at numerous solo and group exhibitions in Bosnia and Herzegovina.
In his painting, he strives for clarity of form, symbolic expression, and universality of the visual sign. Through his artistic practice, he explores themes of human existence, especially the problem of communication of the contemporary human, who in his works takes the form of archetypal signs – similar to those from cave paintings. This approach results in minimalist visual messages that simultaneously carry deep existential content.
