About me

I was born in Novi Sad in 1982, where I grew up. After high school followed a break during which I became familiar with the basics of painting. I made my first steps in the studio of Miodrag Jelačić Jelača at the Petrovaradin Fortress. But my way did not lead to the Academy. I enrolled at the Faculty of Arts and graduated in 2010 at the Department of Serbian language and literature. At the same time I nourished my love for painting and created the first works that found their owners. In this way I earned some pocket money. For a while, I went to a course in watercolors by professor Branislav Markovic Umbra, and his professionalism left a lasting impression on me. Creativity helps me express even the part of myself that is hard to describe in words. I’m just getting happier when I paint and I want to share that happiness with others.
