ABOUT ME"

"At the core of my art practice lies a fundamental belief that art is not just a visual experience—it is an energetic one. I grew up across continents, immersed in a rich diversity of cultures that have profoundly shaped my identity and my artwork".

How My Cultural Journey Shapes My Creative Vision

From my African heritage, I learned the importance of resilience, rhythm, and mindfulness—qualities that continue to influence my creative expression. My short time in the countries of the former Yugoslavia, especially Bosnia and Herzegovina, deepened my understanding of community and made me realize how fragile a country with a rich and complex history can be. Living in Germany introduced me to the fascinating intersection of modernity, progress, and tradition. In my Zambian and Montenegrin roots, I feel an unspoken connection to both the earth and the cosmos—an invisible thread that ties me to something far greater than myself. This deep bond is grounded in the understanding that everything is interconnected, and we are part of something much larger than our individual selves. Each place I’ve lived, each culture I’ve encountered, has imparted lessons that I continue to carry with me in my work.

Why My Artwork Is a Journey of Energy, Transformation, and Connection

For me, art is all about energy. Inspired by Nikola Tesla’s theories of energy, frequency, and vibration, I believe that art has the power to tap into these unseen forces. Art is not just a visual creation for me; it is a channel for universal energy. I view each piece as a way to express the unseen frequencies that link us to one another, the earth, and the cosmos. This energy exists in all things, and through art, I seek to bring it into the visible realm. The idea that everything is connected—be it through nature, people, or the cosmos—drives my creative process. I see my artwork as a bridge, a place where diverse elements come together in harmony. Every artwork is an attempt to capture that universal energy, which can sometimes be felt but rarely seen. I believe that art has the power to create connections, spark conversations, and unite people from different walks of life.

Algorithm T.E.S.L.A.: The Guiding Blueprint

The guiding foundation of my creative journey is Algorithm T.E.S.L.A., a framework developed by Mirjana Prljevic, a globally recognized strategist and expert in Nikola Tesla’s teachings. This approach weaves together five key pillars—Technology, Education, Science, Love, and Activism—into a cohesive vision for meaningful change. It’s not just a concept; it’s a call to action for those who seek to blend innovation and purpose to shape a future rooted in collaboration and shared values.

These pillars align with the core values I aim to explore through my art, guiding me to create work that resonates deeply and fosters connection on multiple levels.

Why I Consider Art as a Path to Healing and Unity

For me, art goes beyond aesthetics; it’s about creating something meaningful that resonates deeply with people. I strive to craft experiences through my work that help individuals reconnect—with themselves, each other, and the world around them. Art has the power to channel the universal energies that connect us all, fostering balance and harmony both internally and externally. When people engage with art on a personal level, it can open doors to emotions and ideas that are often hard to put into words, offering a space for healing, connection, and growth.

The Essence of My Artistic DNA

At the core of my artistic journey is the belief that art has the power to transform, connect, and heal. My work is a reflection of my personal story—shaped by my cultural heritage, travels, and life experiences—but it also speaks to something universal. It’s a reminder of our shared humanity, our bond with the earth, and our place within the greater cosmos.

Through my artwork, I aim to create a shared space where people can connect beyond cultural and linguistic boundaries, even across time. Art, for me, is a bridge—one that links us to each other and to the wider universe. My hope is that my artwork inspires unity, fosters healing, and encourages a deeper sense of mindfulness.
