Le violon "d'or" (2010) Artcraft by Slobodan Spasojevic (Spaki)

My name is Slobodan D. Spasojevic-Spaki. I was born on 04/21/1945 in Zrenjanin, Serbia, Yugoslavia. I finished eight years of school, primary high school and the faculty of architecture in Belgrade. I paint since my youth, since the end of the fifties of the XX century of today; over sixty years.

I had a dozen individual exhibitions as well as group exhibitions. On them I exhibited drawings, oils on canvas as well as sculptural-mosaic works. I was rewarded and at the Yugoslav General Competition 1995 "Oils of the Old Masters" I won first place.

I was influenced by the great masters of Serbian and Yugoslav painting: Paja Jovanović, Uroš Predić and Sava Shumanović; from European painting Serbian fresco painting, European Renaissance painting, to Impressionism, Fauvism, Cubism, contemporary abstract and noumeric art, and in particular: J. Vermer, V. Gogh, G. Braque A. Matis...

By accepting and rejecting certain influences, I formed my own recognizable painting script.

My guiding thought was: ... "Important is to know how to paint, and the most important is to know how to stop".
