Press Release

The words of G.F.Watts ‘’I paint ideas, not things’’ fully expresses the concept of Zorica’s art. The distinct style of Zorica’s imaginative paintings is a blend of surreal, symbolic and metaphysical elements. She uses mythological and dream imagery. The symbols she uses are not the familiar emblems but intensely personal and ambiguous philosophical references. Each painting by Zorica deliberately saturated with a mass of amazing details. All this details in her creations help to understand the general idea of the artist. She strives to follow her own nature and wants to express her vision of the world.Rich colors, graceful lines and subtle textures characterize her varied work. Each of her paintings is a real masterwork.

Her paintings are in many collections around the world, including those of the Museum Marika Kotopouli in Athens, and the Municipal Gallery of Piraeus.

Zorica Krstic was born on 3 January 1970 in Sremska Mitrovica, Yugoslavia where as a child she first studied painting at the side of her Artist mother. At sixteen, she was working in the Art Studio of the hyper-realist Dragan Martinovic. From 1988 to 1993, she attended the Academy of Fine Arts in Novi Sad, graduating in the painting class of Professor Jovan Rakidzic and in the drawing class of Professor Milan Stashevic. From 1994-2004 she has lived and painted in Greece (Athens), where she was a member of the Greek Chamber of Representative Arts (E.E.T.E.). Since 2004, she lives and creates in Serbia (Novi Sad).
