ARTIST'S STATEMENT
“I am inspired by my own travels. Places and people offer me new scenarios and feelings to pour into my painting. Europe, USA, Asia, all cultures suggest diversity, to which I want to be the eye witness. On the other hand, art is a lens that translates the outside world for me to understand it and connect to humanity.
My way to achieve this is either paint on location, or take notes and draw sketches when I travel. I strive to work by memory, which requires a deeper observation; I select only what really reso-nates within. If I use my own photos I draw an edited version of the subject. Then I decide my own color arrangement, according to my mood and pre-mix a limited number of colors on my palette. At this point the brushwork should be (or at least appear) the easiest and most effortless. In other words, the painting should paint itself!
Ultimately I want the viewer to get lost in a timeless story. It's my highest reward. And a bet every single time.”

Feature Artist Bio
By permission of the artist, The Cyber Art Show is pleased to feature the second of two 12-piece exhibitions of works by Serbian painter Nenad Kojić (born 1967 in Yugoslavija (Serbia).
Nenad Kojić is an International award-winning artist and painter (mostly aquarist) with a special sensibility, whose works attract the attention of lovers and artists at home and abroad.
Born in the small Šumadia`s village of Lapovo, Nenad was interested in art as a child, and in primary and secondary schools he received awards for his works. When he was a young man in Belgrade, he worked various tasks in order to achieve autonomy and independence. In 2013, he decided that he had achieved enough in his career as an IT manager and businessman, and began dedicating himself to his eternal love - art. Since he had not tried the role of aquarelle before (he had dealt with photography, painted oil and nurtured the drawing as the basis of all his visual skills), his exploration of the watercolor medium was the real beginning of his active and professional painting career.
Nenad's painting influences include artists such as J. M. W. Turner, James Whistler, Winslow Homer, John Singer Sargent and contemporary impressionists. Nenad's work is known for its original style, bright and translucent tones, as well as the originality of the expression. His exceptional watercolors (as well as works of acrylic and oil) have found their collectors all over the world and his works hang in Serbia, Russia, America, Canada, Japan, Australia, Turkey and, of course, most EU countries.
The artist lives and works in Belgrade.
Selected Exhibitions
- 2016 - Solo exhibition of watercolors (25 pieces) called "Meeting at Skadarlija" in the gallery "House of Djura Jaksic" Belgrade.

2015 - Solo exhibition of watercolor (32 pieces) called "House at the old road / carriage-road" at the Gallery of the Cultural and Tourist Center "Stefan Nemanja" Lapovo. The theme of the exhibition is the motifs of rural and urban landscapes that illustrate the artist's connection with these areas and his way from the village to the city.
