The road less travelled by resident EDGIC Artist Zoran Antovic who is a professional fine artist and teacher of fine art is an inspirational story that powerfully resonates yet opens the heart and soul to the source of “the world is your oyster” when you dare to follow your inner truth.
Awareness that to be a living artist is to live in two worlds simultaneously, allowing creative impulses to sing on the canvass while owning the importance of sustainability on the earth without falling into paradigms of other’s dictates, powers Zoran Antovic on a daily basis.
The code of his ethics continually reminds him “the passion of ones life is not meant to be lived in the shadows, as a hobby, or down on one’s knees.”
Devotion to being an artist was obvious to all who watched this Serbian boy grow into manhood. Knowing the charm of the artistic life called him to serve principles of delight that over the years would engage others to preserve his truth, yet equally take him on a process where choices had to be taken, that would leave tantalizing imprints of dissatisfaction on his heart and soul, before the inevitable decision “there is only Plan A.”
The years in between then and now have forged a path of deep respect of the Art World, Art Institutions, Art Collectors and Artists alike that embrace Zoran Antovic with a warm cloak of love and satisfaction in knowing his artistic path has created a wellspring that fills many cups.
And in Zoran style he states clearly: “the most difficult thing about being an artist is to just survive, and not lose yourself in a world that fights against individual identity,” as well as a reminder to his art students “live your own life, and not for others.” He adds: “be brave and accept change as a natural law. Follow your intuition to find and preserve peace within yourself.”
