Dunja Jankovic

Dunja Jankovic, an interdisciplinary artist renowned for her bold, dynamic abstractions and illusionistic artworks. Born in Croatia, Dunja pursued her studies in illustration at the School of Visual Arts in New York. As her practice evolved, she transitioned between comics, zines, and art books, developing a unique style rooted in juxtaposition and rhythm.

In New York, she both created comics and taught experimental practices before returning to Croatia. There, she founded the multi-media art project SKVER and initiated a screen printing studio in the shipyards of her native island. The studio's journey continued to Barcelona, seamlessly intertwining with her life's narrative.

Jankovic's practice is characterised by a keen focus on repetition, modulation, and patterns, crafting distinctive artworks while also rendering them in varied compositions. A hallmark of her work is the incorporation of visual glitches, not intended to trick the eye but to delve into the multifaceted perceptions of visual noise. Organic elements, tubes, and rounded shapes, though abstract, evoke myriad associations, encapsulating Dunja's intent for her creations to resonate deeply and powerfully.

Having practiced for over two decades, Jankovic's works have been showcased internationally, from Gallery Daeppen in Basel and the Museum of Contemporary Art in Zagreb to the Power Station in Shanghai. During this time, she has partnered with leading interior designers on large-scale projects, most recently with Virgin Voyages, where her artwork prominently featured across the vessel. Residing and working in Barcelona, Dunja Jankovic continues her interdisciplinary practice constantly blurring the lines between collage, design, screen print and beyond.
