Nebojsa Zdravkovic is a creative artist of powerful temperament, noted for his precise drawing skills and dynamic and expressive colour range.

His paintings are strikingly original. He paints mainly from life. He is captivated by the play of light on his subjects and their settings, and this is evidenced in the energetic colours he uses to create his effects.

Nebojsa Zdravkovic was born in Belgrade in 1959, he trained in the best art schools and graduated with a Masters Degree. He is now a member of the Association of Serbian Fine Artists. He was granted a scholarship by the Spanish government for post-graduate studies in Madrid. He has won many prizes for his work in his own country and abroad.

His work has been exhibited in many group shows, and he has had several solo exhibitions in London, Paris, Belgrade, Athens and Cyprus, including at Adonis Art in 2002 and 2003. Overall, his paintings have a unique brilliance and atmosphere that make them highly distinctive.

Pity there are only a few and from when I found him, they changed the display and the older ones are no more available. But anyway I love his use of colors. And the first one is definitely my favorite. Elisa

These are gorgeous. Thank you, Elisa. I never would have known about these if not for your LJ. I love what he does with all that reflected color off the skin of his models. The first one is probably my favorite, too, but I also like His Head on the Pillow.

Yes, also that one is really nice. I love to find these artists, and hope to give them a little space with these weekly posts. Elisa

It's a big help to them and us. I'm not even sure how I'd search for something like this online, especially from Eastern Europe if he's not that well known. I love oil painting and I love paintings that look like they're done from life as these ones do and not from photographs.

I take notes while browsing and when I'm in the mood for something I go back to find them. Elisa

Elisa, I don't know how you manage to free up the time between job, real life, and the huge amount of reading and work you do on your LJ! I'll bet you only sleep two hours per night!

make them six and your are true ;-) Elisa

Six! I'm so jealous. I need eight. Think of what I could get done if I only needed six!

You are welcome ;-) Elisa

Oh, wow. These are beautiful. I think my favorites are the first one, "reclining nude...", and "His head on the pillow". So lifelike, almost like the artist took a snapshot and painted over it.

I love the use of light in the shadow of the first one, it's so real that it's almost I'm spying someone alive in his bedroom. Elisa

Your description 'strikingly original' is exactly right. They're fabulous. I'm not an art student at all - except for liking what I like - but the style reminds me of Impressionism.

I can't gain the merit of the description, it's on his presentation, but you are right, they have a bit of Impressionism, I believe in the blurry edge of the lines. Elisa

This guy's art work is truly mesmerising. The palette he uses is so luminous. Wonderful work. In fat the whole web site is a drool fest of art.

Yes, Adonis Art is a very nice discovery. Elisa
