The Artistic Journey
"I was only three years old when my mother gave me paper and a pencil because she didn't know how to entertain me, considering that I was quite restless. That's when I made my first drawing - a butterfly, which they say turned out pretty well. When she showed the drawing to my father, he already knew then that I would be a painter. My mother always told that story, and today I happily repeat it to my children."

Visualizing the World
"I was a child who drew energy and inspiration from nature, our folk customs, and everyday life. I was an extremely visual person who cherished the old canopy, the horses, and the barn with the animals in our yard. My upbringing was different from others; my parents and my brother, Nikola, provided significant support. What I couldn't hear, I would visualize and transfer to paper," he begins his life story."
