“MY MOTHER’S FAMILY COMES FROM BOKA KOTORSKA IN MONTENEGRO, SO I SPENT MOST OF MY CHILDHOOD ON THE SEASIDE. TO THIS DATA, BOKA KOTORSKA REMAINS MY SAFE PORT. THE COMBINATION OF THE SEA, STONE, WILD NATURE, PURPLE HILLS, AND THE STRONG BLUE COLOR OF THE ADRIATIC SEA ARE PART OF MY COLORING AND ENERGY WHICH I ALWAYS TRY TO CONNECT.”

In her works, women are always almost abstract, but her figure is always strongly expressed in various forms, with sharp contours and energetic colors, inspired by Radovic’s Mediterranean background.
