I am suffering from post war trauma syndrome, due to an experience of bombing of Belgrade (Yugoslavia at that time, 1999). Although I have degree in art, I was associated with art brut, as a result of my visual language, the need to fill the space up, to use pure white and black paint, and the theme of my work (religious spiritual experiences). I am fascinated with our mortality and have an impulsive strong inner need to paint. I like Iconography and feel that it is inspiring my art.
