BIOGRAPHY / RESUME
I’m a Yugoslavian-born artist and curator based in Los Angeles, California. I was born in 1982 in the Republic of Serbia, where I grew up during a time of political unrest and war in the Balkans. That experience deeply informs my artistic and conceptual practice, which centers on themes of beauty, environmentalism, mental health, decolonization, and societal transformation. In 2017, at the age of 35, I relocated to Los Angeles, a move that significantly shaped the next chapter of my life.
As a non-medium-specific artist, my work spans painting, drawing, installation, video, and performance. I’m drawn to exploring human nature, LGBTQ+ identity, the immigrant experience, and the concept of discontinuity in cultural narratives. My practice also reflects on the complex relationship between humans and the natural world, guided by a strong belief in art as a tool for healing and well-being.
Since my first solo exhibition at the National Museum of Valjevo at the age of fifteen, I’ve presented my work in numerous solo and group shows across the U.S. and Europe. Some of the institutions where I’ve exhibited include the Lancaster Museum of Art and History, Bakersfield Museum of Art, Torrance Art Museum, Ronald H. Silverman Fine Arts Gallery, Angels Gate Cultural Center, Diana Berger Gallery, Brea Art Gallery, and Huntington Beach Art Center in California, USA; Mall Galleries in London, UK; UNESCO Headquarters and The Swedish Institute in Paris, France; Centre of Contemporary Art in Toruń, Poland; The Círculo de Bellas Artes in Madrid, Spain; and the Belgrade City Museum and Museum of Yugoslavia in Serbia. I was also honored to be an artist-in-residence at MOAH Lancaster 2021-2022 through the Artists At Work program, supported by the Mellon Foundation.
In 2018, together with my partner, artist and curator Jason Jenn, I co-founded L.A. Art Documents, an online video archive dedicated to showcasing the contemporary art scene in Los Angeles and beyond.
