Dragan Simic

Dragan Simic was born in the remote year of 1957 on a windy August day on his father’s farm, half-way to the Vrbas Tower. According to the artist, that day his father just scooped him with a bucket and brought him to the light of the day out of the depth of his bottomless eyes. In the veins of the artists runs a mixture of blood both of passionate mountain dwellers of the Grakhovsky Highland and calm and melancholic inhabitants of a fertile valley of the river Sana. Love, gambling and Dragan’s determination were the reasons why he started painting. The thoughts that overfilled him streamed in an uncontrollable flow and crystallized into drawings and paintings. Throughout all the years, wherever Dragan were, regardless of the weather, the drawing has been inseparable from him. At first, when he was young, he drew unconsciously, but later, when he already was a grown-up man, he started doing it with clear understanding. Exhibitions, art associations, prizes, everything seemed to have been achieved by a decree of providence. The only thing that matters for Dragan is, as it has always been, drawing, a genuine pleasure of working, expressing his thoughts, and an opportunity to nurture sincere feelings.
