Biography

Showing strong art and creativity tendencies, as the primary form of self-expression,

Nikola Djukich draws as long as he can remember himself.

​

In 2009 enrolled in the “Graphic Design” programme of the Academy of Arts in Novi Sad.

As suggested and supported by several professors, Nikola deepens his attitude towards

self-portraits and their creation. Technically it transcends the drawing, as the primary form,

and passes into a passive form of performance - a poetically shaped photograph,

complemented by a certain symbolism.

​

In 2010 – first solo photo exhibition, entitled "Pseudomechanic", held in Kulturni Centar Zrenjanin. In the same year, the artist puts his academic education on hold in search for

himself through other forms of art. For the next couple of years, he spends his time in

the theater, working as an actor, costume designer, set designer, sound-engineer.

​

In addition, since 2011 he has been creating experimental music.

and techniques, creating the artworks, presented in 2015 at the exhibition entitled "Roots",

held in Novi Sad.

2016 - In collaboration with the Belgrade Pride, an exhibition of photographs, entitled "ANTIQUUS - The Stories of Gods and Heroes", takes place in Belgrade.
