About
I am a Serbian - Australian visual artist and writer working
primarily with ink drawing, mixed media and digital art.
Born and raised in Belgrade, Yugoslavia, I obtained an
MFA in painting from the Academy of Fine Art in Belgrade.
I participated in numerous group and solo exhibitions and
festivals, and completed a few international residencies.
My interests include graphic novels, printing, zines and
independent publishing, murals and art in public spaces. I
see art as a medium of communication and empowerment
- by sharing our stories, we invite and give others agency to
do the same.
Sauna Time!
While working on a scenario for a graphic novel, I let the nature
and stillness of the environment affect me and my work. I
made a little comic about our favourite communal activity
when in Arteles - the local public sauna in Hämeenkyrö.
Abundant colours of autumn gave way to darker times of
early winter but we stayed cozy and safe. The time spent
in residency gave me the mental, emotional and physical
space and peace to work on more challenging subjects of
my graphic novel. Focus achieved!
