Veljko Djurdjevic
Belgrade, SERBIA
"I am a Zen-scape painter. I depict majestic, ethereal, intimate, contemplative landscapes, soul sanctuaries. Realistic approach reflects my devotion and gratitude for the gift that we are given."
Having graduated from the Academy of Fine Arts in Belgrade, Serbia on a full scholarship, Velko Geurgevich is a third-generation professional landscape artist – a landscape painter who refers to his works as “zen-scapes”.
“I depict majestic, ethereal, intimate, contemplative landscapes--soul sanctuaries,” the artist explains. “Nature is my muse. I am forever devoted to portraying Nature in all its magnificence. My landscapes are intimate and personal: I see them as pages from my diary.
“The landscape is a universal subject without need of explanation or translation, and is of primary interest to me as a means of communication on both fundamental and artistic levels. The Balkans has been a tremendous inspiration. I travel extensively to find the most breathtaking motifs. My work is an attempt to show my respect towards nature, an attempt I am forever refining. My focus on Realism reflects my devotion and gratitude for the gifts that we are given.
“The skill is there only to convey a deeper emotional and philosophical context. I follow the techniques of the Old Masters. I slowly build my paintings, layer by layer, and use only premium quality materials in my work. I have dedicated the first ten years of my career to becoming a master draftsman, believing that drawing is a key element to every great painting.
“My life-long inspiration is to capture the illusive ethereality of Nature. At the age of 28, I feel that my artistic journey is only beginning....”
Velko’s work is widely collected in Serbia, Italy, France, Switzerland, the United States, Canada and the United Kingdom. He is also a member of Esnaf, and ULUS (Association of Fine Artists of Serbia).
Selected Exhibitions:
Milanovac Museum, Serbia
