I was born on April, 1st 1974 in Vitez, Bosnia and Herzegovina. Despite cerebral palsy, I use my legs skillfully so I can write and paint with my left foot.
I have completed elementary and high administrative school in the Center for Education of Disabled Persons in Zagreb, Croatia.
I have been painting and writing since 1992 in order to express the spirit that moves me from inside.
My poetry collection called 'Prints of Depth', which I illustrated myself, was published in 1998. I also illustrated seven other books of different authors – eight poetry collections and a cover for a novel.
