Born 1974
Artistic language and expression was not foreign to me from an early age, having the fortune of going out into the world as primary school pupil, the family moved to Kuwait for 5 years, where I already showed my propensity for artistic expression.
After returning to native Slovenia I completed primary education and continued and nurtured my artistic orientation at Istituto Statale d'Arte Max Fabiani in Gorizia (Italy) and concluded the high school studies in 1996.
Furthermore, I continued the studies at Accademia di Belle Arti di Venezia (Italy). Environment, imbued with centuries of tradition and the intertwining of cultures truly left its mark and directed my attention to our fellow human beings in their environment.
In 2001, I successfully completed studies with Professor Rossella Piergallini.
My artistic language is a reaction to contact with other people and the environment in which individual groups coexist, as well as through participation and organization of art events (MMM art, Art Embassies,...) at home and abroad.
I have been creating art most of my life, resorting involuntarily repeatedly to daily experiences, I transferred my knowledge to my pupils. Through autoanalysis I then realize my personal projects using the appropriate medium.
I live and work between Slovenia and Germany.
