My first contact with the art came very early. Perhaps it is because my father had his long artistic period in life at the time when I was a kid. And the talent inherited played it's part. I made my first serious drawings in charcoal when I was 12, and I took part at a local exhibition as the youngest author. However, that was the only public exhibit of my art.
At the same, my father bought a personal computer for his freelance job, and I couldn't even have guessed that this would change my life. Computers became my profession. I started with programming in early 1990's. New century brought me Microsoft Certified Solution Developer certification and Bachelor of Science degree in Informatics. Currently I'm working as a project manager in a software company in Belgrade.
Despite all this, I haven't given up painting. I had strong support in my family. I made over 150 paintings and drawings up to now. Most of my work is done with pencil and dry pastels, as techniques I prefer. A number of paintings are in private collections of my friends and family and some paintings my wife and I keep jealously :).
