Biography

Born in 1965 in Belgrade, Yugoslavia.
He lives and works between Paris and Belgrade.

He is a graduate of the Paris School of Architecture and has been director of the Serbian Cultural Center in Paris since 2011. 

Vuillard was better than Bonnard, Tapiès was better than Bonnard, Rauschenberg was better than Rauschenberg, Twombly always painted shit, Bacon was better alive”, he asserts in a manifesto-like painting entitled Art history, presented in 1999. In 2003, he took a stand for migrants: in an installation entitled Serbia Remix Project, he depicted a blue, white and red striped plastic bag, a common feature of the victims of all the modern world's conflicts, according to him. His work contains historical references and evokes war. In 2007, he was one of the signatories of a tribune published in the newspaper L'Humanité, in which he deplored the involvement of the Ministry of Culture in the standardization and monopoly of official art, criticized the “masked manipulators” who impose the diktat of fashion and trends, and called for a more equitable distribution of temporary exhibition venues.
