Born in 1978 in Novi Sad. Employed at the Academy of Arts in Novi Sad as an assistant professor at the Department of Sculpture.

He says the following about himself, “I deal with sculpture, installation and intervention in public space.” My field of interest is primarily socially engaged-socially aware artistic practice. In 2000, I took part in a large performance of Led art “Kunstlager” from 2003 to 2013. I was active in the work of the Multi Media Center of the Art Clinic. In 2002, I created the first installation that was placed in a public space, and in 2003, I exhibited the first in a series of interactive, procedural works from the “Interactive Sculpture” series. To date, I have realized a large number of interventions and installations, and the last project, which is still ongoing, deals with the relationship between sculpture and sound, that is, the process of redesigning military props into sound objects. The project was called “From noise to sound” with the idea that the name itself should represent the essence of the project. In addition to the realization of my own works, since the beginning of my career, I have also been involved in education. I have realized a series of workshops, lectures and courses, and since 2014 I have started to implement an educational project of installation and intervention in public space. In this project, I incorporate my previous experiences and attitudes that I share with colleagues and the public with the idea of making the modern visual language as visible as possible and explaining its importance for society in general.”
