The Art of Marko Karadjinovic
Hello to all people on Steemit!
My name is Marko Karadjinovic.
I am an artist/painter located in Novi Sad, Serbia,
and i would like to use this opportunity to make an introduction about myself, and my art.
"Goddess" (Oil on panel)
ABOUT ME:
I was born on 20th April 1992 in city Novi Sad, country Serbia.
Since i was a little child i was fascinated with Illustrations from Brothers Grimm fairytale books and with paintings which surrounded me at my parents home. I remember these paintings and illustrations being alive, some were indeed very dark and beautiful to me at the same time. And little by little i started to draw and paint.
My first drawings were created at the time when i was 3 years old, and since then i was always painting and drawing.
My first oil paintings were created at the time when i was 13,14 years old and this is the time when i sensed what powerful and full of life this medium is, and really fell in love with it.
This is one really dear painting to me, done when i was 18 years old.
"Returning home" ( Oil on canvas)
In this period i traveled to Netherlands to improve my painting skills and entered the Academy of classical painting in Serbia. I was obsessed with old masters, actually i always will be. I went to see many exhibitions, was trying to get any old or contemporary master books , monographs that i could , so i would learn more.
In 2012. i received an award for best student, and in year 2013. i graduated from the Academy of classical painting.
Few years after, in search for more knowledge, i went to workshop at the Florence Academy of Art in Sweden.
I participated in many collective exhibitions.
Currently i am working in my studio in Serbia, creating my art.
ABOUT MY ART:
"Together we can live forever" detail / Egg tempera
Themes in my art are mainly associated with spirituality, occult, mythology, alchemy.
My paintings are always on the verge of dark and light, as we are, as day and night.
I always had this feeling of sacred presence while standing in front of old masterpieces, as if they were breathing... And i always felt that art is a road to immortality, road of knowing thy self...
And with these feelings and beliefs, i create my own art..
I hope you enjoyed.
I will post more paintings and more text in future

Welcome to STEEMIT! So excited about new brilliant artist; "does happy dance". Thank your for this short tour through your mind-palace; you have such a deep connection to your art;it reminds me how messy my own head house is if I can through out the trash maybe I can find a deeper meaning hidden in there.
Do you have any other favorite artists? Any favorite Serbian artists? I am curious what the art scene is like.
Check out all the contests, curation projects and discord channels; they will help you find community and promote your artwork! Think hard before you use bots; I use them occasionally but they cheese people off if over-used. They seem like a drug if you keep using them as well; once people start they do not want to stop. We need to start a botless rehab program.
Thank you so much for your compliments and kind words, it means a lot. :)
Yes, i have a lot of favourite artists. One of my favourite old masters are Caravaggio, Jean Delville, Arnold Böcklin, Gerrit Dou, John Atkinson Grimshaw, J.E. Millais, the list goes on.. The same is for contemporary ones, but some of my favourites are Gottfried Helnwein, Sandorfi, Odd Nerdrum, Zdzislaw Beksinski, Agostino Arrivabene, Peter Gric :) It is very hard to pick and choose among these great artists, that is why the list is so long. :) I am actually very glad that you have asked about Serbian artists. One of my favourite Serbian artists are Zeljko Tonsic (1954―2014), Vladimir Velickovic, Paja Jovanovic (1859 - 1957) ,Uros Predic ( 1857 - 1953), Stevan Aleksic (1876 - 1923), Djordje Krstic (1851 - 1907) ...
