ABOUT
Bio
Since her early days as a portrait artist in Dubrovnik, Croatia, Biljana followed her quest for travel and art. Pursuing her passion for both, she embarked on a unique artistic journey that would take her through many countries in Europe and Canada and acquire collectors locally and internationally.
Artist Statement
As I continued to evolve as an artist, my curiosity led me to explore a variety of subject matters; portraits, landscapes and ordinary, mundane scenes that often hold the extraordinary. I enjoy experimenting with a variety of mediums whether it is pastel, gouache, acrylic or oil, in order to bring a unique quality to my art that each technique conveys. With a special affinity for capturing the light and mood of the subject, I draw inspiration from my experiences and the places I have lived in.
