You Can’t Win Them All
 
 
Born 1958, Bosnia
the artist lives and works in San Diego, USA

My current body of work is focused on creating artwork that will both inform and entertain the viewer through images of our everyday experiences. I believe every person has a story to tell, and I attempt to capture that story in the space all stories reveal themselves. My work is playful yet serious – it is influenced by the images and iconography from popular, contemporary culture, including advertising, music, television and magazines. I have a compelling drive to create images which explore, illustrate and express my personal thoughts and feelings.
My work embodies a passionate response to the human condition: the comedies and tragedies of life and all of the wonderful experiences in between. The use of words has become an integral part of my work. The titles I give to my work tell a story that allows the painting to be manipulated.
My aim is not to answer the questions; it is to raise questions and to make a commentary on aspects of our everyday life.
