Fine Art and Design

The graduate work addresses the psychological and social fragmentation of our era, exploring themes of destabilization, overstimulation, compassion fatigue and collective anxiety. The images reflect personal as well as political dimensions, such as the mounting tensions in Venezuela, the artist’s place of origin, and mass protests in Serbia, his second home. Combining abstraction, subtle symbolism, realistic features and surrealism, the work explores how constant images of crisis mould our capacity to empathize.
