I was born in Zamost, a small picturesque mountain village located on the banks of river Čabranka. Finished primary and secondary school in Čabar then graduated from the Faculty of Economics in Rijeka. I showed my creative expression at an early age making various drawings and unique souvenirs, and a special challenge for me was painting.
A professional career with responsible management positions didn’t leave me any time for my favourite hobby. Only the lack of professional activity opened my way into the world of painting which was completely opposite to the previous one.
Started to be actively involved in painting from 2017. continuously developing my painting knowledge and ability under the expert guidance of experienced and skilled mentors.
I actively participated in numerous art colonies, group exhibitions and exhibitions where an expert jury approves entry of paintings, both in Croatia and abroad.
