Damir Polic

Damir was born in Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina in 1978. In 1994, during the height of the Bosnian War, he fled to Croatia and then to California, USA, to continue his education. He studied art at the School of Applied Arts in Sarajevo, California Institute of Arts in Valencia, CA, and Columbia College in Chicago, IL. He currently lives and works in London, UK.

"Much like crumbling painted facades of London, my paintings are remnants of time passed, lives lived and observed, containing stories that perhaps were never told but surely existed. In a way, a lick of fresh paint creates a blank slate for the future while solidifying and containing the past."
