ABOUT

After graduating in economics at the Faculty of Economics and Tourism in Pula, I moved to Ljubljana to pursue a PhD in political anthropology, researching peasant social movements. I came close to finishing it, but chose to step away and devote myself fully to art. The years I spent on my PhD in Ljubljana still shape everything I make.

My whole body of work is rooted in themes concerning society and social issues. Through art – on walls, on paper and on canvas – I try to bring them into public discourse and make room for stories that are often left out.

I have been working in illustration since 2014, where my main focus has been the portrait: through it I try to convey the ideas and the life of the person portrayed and to build a story behind every image. Alongside illustration I paint murals, and I tattoo as a member of the Jutarnja šetnja tattoo collective in Zagreb. Over the years I have worked for numerous clients, both through illustration and through murals. Since 2025 my focus has shifted to painting, through which I explore the everyday lives of ordinary people, most recently in the series Vikendom rekreativno.

Since 2022 I have co-organised Art Park Pula, and since 2023 I have organised the street art festival Kistom kroz zid in Pula.
