Bojan (b.1998 in Bitola, Macedonia) is a contemporary artist and a visual narrator identifying his artistic style as “caliginous surrealism”. Bojan’s work spans across digital and traditional mediums, combining both with the written word in the form of poems. With the interplay of his artworks as well as his poems, he aims to fulfil the impossible task of encapsulating something as abstract and complex as the layered human emotion onto a canvas. Thus, transforming these emotions into something tangible by visualizing them, even the unpleasant ones, through the interplay of opposing colors, atmospheres and characters. Alongside his artistic path, Bojan holds a Doctor of Dental Medicine degree, completed in Skopje, a background that has instilled in him a meticulous approach to his work. Currently he balances his work as a Doctor of Dental Medicine with his passion for art, embracing the unique experiences this combination offers, as he believes science and art collaborate symbiotically in both his thinking and practice.
