I was born in Belgrade (Singidunum, founded by Celts) in Serbia (place of 7531 years of age by the original Serbian calendar) - land of turbulent, rich, important & provocative history, in the nation of people who are (contrary to media-enforced malinfluenced global prejudice) beautiful, naturally smart, kind, welcoming, honest, witty, creative, dedicated & above all, able to tackle all of the life challenges with grace, endurance & steadfast stamina.
My childhood & life in my home country introduced me to the timeless beauty of the 'old world' & art in all its forms. I was surrounded by ingenious artists, crafters, musicians, dancers, actors, creators, poets, writers, lovers of beauty & arts, amazing family & friends ...owners of the bravest hearts & most wonderful souls... who have all inspired my own vision of the world & enriched my talents in their own unique way. For the longest time I've been a passionate observer, admirer & accomplice of their inspirations, creative forces, techniques, colors, shapes, sounds, moves, expressions & passions, learning about all of it along the way. I'm now grateful to all of them for sharing & imprinting bits of their talents & blessings onto my soul, which now finds its way into my photography.
When love whisked me away to the most southern of ancient lands (which used to be called, some two centuries ago, 'Terra Australis Incognita' & later on 'New Holland'), all those strong influences blended with the artistic light in me & with my everlasting need to immortalize moments. I discovered The Land Down Under, the magic of the great Pacific & the whole new enchanted dimension of the Nature. That life change has literally expended my horizons, in every possible meaning. And the Photographer emerged.
And I grew up a bit. Just a bit.
Just enough to truly appreciate my roots, my destiny, my ancestors, my special humans, life, freedom, common sense, beauty of existence, creativity, opinion of my Dog, nature's diverse uniqueness, beauty, privacy, Banksy's artwork, renaissance artists, honesty, words with meaning & You taking time to actually read this & discover my work.
