I was born on October 15, 1943, in Brezicani, in the Republic of
Bosnia and Herzegovina. After a rural childhood and completion
of elementary school, I moved to Sarajevo, where I attended the
High School of Fine Arts for 5 years.
In 1964, I enrolled at the Belgrade Academy of Applied Arts,
receiving my diploma in 1970.
From 1975, I was painting and exhibiting in Belgrade until 1995, when I moved to New Zealand.
As a member of the Yugoslav Fine Art's Society for more than twenty years,
I have taken part in all one of the society's exhibitions during this time.
and has had several solo exhibitions, the last one in Tokyo 1994.
I sold more than 300 paintings in former Yougoslavia, France, Italy, Austria, Germany and New Zealand.
