His art draws deeply from the wellspring of folklore and historical themes, weaving together ancient myths and stories into modern visual narratives.

Maribor Puppet Theatre
ROLE IN PROJECT
Creating a series of illustrations which would function as visuals for the 2023/2024 season of Maribor Puppet Theatre titled “Tok, tok - le naprej!” which translates to “Knock, Knock - Come on In”. I decided to develop a character that slightly resembles their logo and create the visual narrative where that character becomes a host, serving 6 kooky dishes: 6 plays of the season.

The Faculty of Arts Ljubljana
ROLE IN PROJECT
I was contacted by the main editors to illustrate the cover and some page breaks. And since Človek, žival (Human(e), Animal) is a scientific monograph, dealing with the coexistence of humans and animals in different contexts, I decided to draw the illustrated imagery from greek mythology which intertwines the two very magnificently.

Series of illustrations of Slovene myths, legends, mysteries and general folklore. From the covens brewing fog in the hills to the slavic carnivals chasing winter away, these are done with a quiet fascination for the ancestral imagination.
