I’m an intermedia artist and designer originally from Croatia, currently based in Amsterdam, NL. The base of my artistic practice is image-making, be it in on paper, screen or stage. More specifically, my fascinations involve performance, scenography, light design, costumography, printmaking, video work and writing.
For more info don’t hesitate to contact me.
