Les séries Solid et Toxic évoquent un paysage « urbano-romantique »
portant les traces de l’homme, même si celui-ci n’est pas présent dans
le champ d’action. Le sujet est bien vivant.

Ma quête photographique commence avec l’achat de mon premier reflex
numérique il y a un an. Très vite je privilégie un cadrage frontal, avec
peu ou pas de profondeur de champ.

L’aseptisé et le lisse me font horreur. J’insiste et joue alors sur les
matières. Je triture l’image jusqu’à en faire exploser la texture tel
une brûlure à l’acide sur un mur. Cela passe notamment par un travail de
l’image en post-traitement. Les réglages de contrastes, de niveaux et de
saturations des couleurs m’aident à sublimer l’image en exaltant sa
propre essence jusqu’à lui donner une vraie patine. Je me rapproche
ainsi de l’art rupestre, ou de la peinture.

C’est une approche agressive, qui fait violence au sujet. Arrivé à un
certain stade d’abstraction, la photo devient presque tactile.

Born 1954, Bosnia and Hercegovina
the artist lives and works in Topusko, Croatia

I am a painter of the darkness for a drop of good.
Irretrievably, I immersed into the darkest corners of spieitual destructiveness of a human being in hope to describe it, to stay for a while. Humbleness of those who suffer captured my sensibility.
I resist nit, I seek for the wau out.
My images tried to be a message, no one replied.
Now, they are just a sceam and I am not sure anyone can hear it.

Bio

I was born at Velika Kladusa, Bosna and Hercegovina. As ten years boy I got a price from famous painter Krsto hegedusic and Ivan Generalic. After finishing Law studies when I was able to have material backgrounds, slowly I started to return to painting by eveloping specific technique of expression. On 1989 I started to work seriously with intention to show and share my work with audience. Sincethat I live at the area of ex- Yugoslavia, all the tragic evens before and during the War had wonded my soul. Through my images and my drawing I am trying to send the message that we have lost the border line between human and animal. With each of my drawing I send a message and warnning to the World that if we continue to go on this path where we are going to end.

My work and myself have been listen on wesite, www.all-art.org History of Art in the Art of the 20th Cenury, categoey-Neo surrealism.

I’m member of the Society for Art of Imagination.
