Lives and works in Podgorica, Montenegro

Artist statement

My work is inspired by everyday- life situations and paradoxes of contemporary society. I am keenly interested in observing the way consumer society is increasingly affecting every aspect of our lives and world we live, that strange place saturated with the media, with an exaggerated production and exaggerated consumption. Everything is for sale and everything is purchased, poised on the edge between the real and the virtual, erasing the boundary between the natural and artificial, permitted and prohibited, material and spiritual. I work in different techniques and medias: painting, sculpture, in situ, wall painting, video animation, digital drawing, installation. Most of my works explores the stereotypes of everyday life with an emphasis on male- female relations in socio- political context. Latest works referencing the patriarchal society in Montenegro and gender topics significant to the local community can also be understood on a more global level and have universal application.
