In his work, the student of Painting starts with his two primary interests – comics and illustration, borrowing their specifics, advancing them with newly obtained knowledge, and reshaping them into idiosyncratic compositions. He’s an avid fan of urban landscapes and city architecture, especially the geometric shapes of residential blocks that merge and fuse with the city bustle.
Fedja Šičarov (1995) enrolled in Painting at the Academy of Fine Arts in Ljubljana after graduating from the Ledina Grammar School. In primary school, he used to draw on desks, then in secondary school on walls, and now, at the academy, on canvases. He decided to study painting in order to avoid moulding himself merely in the fields of comics and illustration, where his interests mainly lie. At the academy he thus got to know new views on art, images and aesthetics, as well as the creative process itself, co-shaping his artistic practice. He lives and studies in Ljubljana.
