Olja Ivanjicki died yesterday

"For me painting, and therefore any creative activity, is only a way not to come to the end of my life with an empty heart...I think it all started with russian science fiction stories that my father used to read to me instead of fairy tales when I was a little girl."-Olja Ivanjicki





She was one of Serbia's best and most accomplish painters, among many things she was the first to bring Pop Art to former Yugoslavia. She was also a dear friend to the family and will be greatly missed.

I believe her heart must be full.....

Olja was a great person, really unique in every way...

She was a painter, sculptor, fashion designer, architect, poet, philosopher, great thinker and one of the most interesting people ever.
