“I do not offer solutions, nor do I paint pictures about freedom. I record phenomena that, through their very presence, strongly shape our collective consciousness. Humor plays a central role in my work—it acts as a buffer, softening the impact of painful social reflections while allowing space for critical engagement.

My themes range across the experiences of growing up surrounded by media, the spectacle of athletes as modern gladiators, technological development, historical complications, plastic, decadence, and sensory pleasure. These subjects weave together into visual commentaries that are at once playful and unsettling, mirroring the contradictions of contemporary life.” Nemanja
