Girl with red orchid
Only in recent time that I started to explore the field of photography. Throughout this time I developed a deep dedication to this practices.
In my chosen mediums I include nature. My inspiration comes from the Art Nouveau movement. After moving to Amsterdam my interest enriched with 17th century Dutch still life and with combining these elements has formed my body of work today. I’m working with references which I take with a camera using a self timer. I like the use of light and deep shadows to add a sense of dream-like environment and emotional depth to my work. For me, it’s all about finding a visual representation of my feelings, what emotionally moves me and then it stirs the emotions of the viewer as well. Leaving a trace of myself to the world and maybe someone else can find themself in my work too.

entry description
The Girl With Red Orchid is a part of a floral self-portrait series that seeks to question the lines between dream and real life. Flowers are a representation of brevity and vanity of life, a reminder that the most beautiful object is mutable and eventually will die.about the photographer
I’m a visual artist from Subotica Serbia, currantly based in Amsterdam, the Netherlands. My practice is composed of photography through the method of surrealist-self portraiture. I use myself as a model to evoke emotions, seeking to highlight different characters by applying my own body as a vehicle of expression.Only in recent time that I started to explore the field of photography.
