About
Tamara Perusic – Fine Arts Graduate and Contemporary Artist
ENGLISH
I’m a painter based in Zagreb, Croatia. I graduated in painting from the School of Painting and Drawing at Arthouse College Ljubljana in 2024. I work mostly in acrylic, and sometimes in oil, on canvas or MDF.
My paintings sit somewhere between figurative and abstract. Nature, animals and the sea keep coming back, along with small fragments of life: a moment by the water, a memory of a summer, a feeling of being completely at ease. I paint what I remember and what I’d like people to feel when they look.
The pixel effect has become the part of my work people recognise first. It breaks an image into small blocks of colour, a bit like memory does. From a distance you see a scene, and up close you see colour, rhythm and gesture. I like that every viewer ends up standing at a slightly different distance from the painting.
My latest series, Wild Silence, goes in a more gestural direction. It’s looser and quieter, with more space and more movement in the brush.
Colour is my main language. I use vibrant, expressive tones because I want the work to feel alive in a room, not just hang there.
My solo exhibitions include Fragments of Memory (Croatian Fine Arts Society Gallery, Zagreb, 2025), Wild Silence (Marea Gallery, online, 2026) and Flora and Fauna (Kajfešov Brijeg Library, Zagreb, 15 September – 15 October 2026), with a foreword by Krešimira Gojanović (read more). I’ve also exhibited in Croatia, Slovenia, Peru and Zimbabwe, and in international online exhibitions. I’m a member of the Croatian Society of Visual Artists Zagreb (HDLU Zagreb) and the Croatian Fine Arts Society (HLD).
In 2026 I was invited to take part in the Busan International Environmental Art Festival (BIEAF), under the theme From Sun to Boy. My painting A Cactus in Bloom is part of the online exhibition, which brings together 848 artists from 84 countries (view at BIEAF).
My work is also presented online on BEOPEN Art, a gallery for emerging artists from around the world (artist profile), and on ArtHelper, a global network of human artists (profile and gallery).
My paintings live in private collections and in homes, small hotels and offices, spaces where people spend real time. If you’re looking for a piece for your own space, I’m happy to help you choose, and I also take on commissions.

Slikarica sam iz Zagreba. Slikarstvo sam diplomirala 2024. na Šoli za slikanje in risanje, Arthouse College Ljubljana. Slikam pretežito akrilom, a povremeno i uljem, na platnu ili MDF-u.
Moj izraz je negdje između figurativnog i apstraktnog. Stalno mi se vraćaju priroda, životinje i more, uz male fragmente života: trenutak uz vodu, sjećanje na ljeto, osjećaj potpunog mira. Slikam ono čega se sjećam i ono što bih voljela da ljudi osjete dok gledaju.
Pixel efekt postao je element po kojem me ljudi najčešće prepoznaju. Slika se rastavlja na male blokove boje, pomalo kao što to radi i sjećanje. Izdaleka vidite prizor, a izbliza boju, ritam i potez. Volim što svatko pred slikom stane na malo drugačiju udaljenost.
Moja najnovija serija, Divlja tišina, ide u gestualnijem smjeru. Slobodnija je i tiša, s više prostora i više pokreta u potezu.
Boja je moj glavni jezik. Koristim vibrantne, izražajne tonove jer želim da slika u prostoru živi, a ne samo visi.
Samostalno sam izlagala na izložbama Fragmenti sjećanja (Galerija Hrvatskog likovnog društva, Zagreb, 2025.), Wild Silence (Marea Gallery, online, 2026.) i Flora i fauna (Knjižnica Kajfešov brijeg, Zagreb, 15. rujna – 15. listopada 2026.), uz predgovor Krešimire Gojanović (više). Izlagala sam i u Hrvatskoj, Sloveniji, Peruu i Zimbabveu te na međunarodnim online izložbama. Članica sam Hrvatskog društva likovnih umjetnika Zagreb (HDLU) i Hrvatskog likovnog društva (HLD).
Godine 2026. pozvana sam sudjelovati na Busan International Environmental Art Festivalu (BIEAF) s temom From Sun to Boy. Moja slika A Cactus in Bloom dio je online izložbe na kojoj sudjeluje 848 umjetnika iz 84 zemlje (pogledaj na BIEAF-u).
Svoje radove predstavljam i online, na BEOPEN Art, galeriji za umjetnike u ranoj fazi karijere iz cijelog svijeta (umjetnički profil), te na ArtHelperu, globalnoj mreži umjetnika (profil i galerija).
Moji radovi nalaze se u privatnim kolekcijama te u domovima, malim hotelima i poslovnim prostorima, dakle u prostorima u kojima ljudi stvarno provode vrijeme. Ako tražite sliku za svoj prostor, rado ću vam pomoći pri odabiru, a prihvaćam i radove po narudžbi.
