Jasna Barisic

Jasna Barisic is a Croatian mixed media artist born in Split with her studio in Zadar. In her works she experiments with materials and new techniques. At the moment, Jasna Barisic is focused on working with disposed paper which she recycles herself. In the process, she models it onto a wooden base, creating a rich, resilient, three-dimensional structure as the basis of her artistic expression. 

She is constantly exploring the possibilities in reshaping material, which makes up the conceptual side of her work as she strives to find her own expression. The theme of Jasna Barisic paintings is the traces of time, events and emotions on both the living, such as the human body, as well as the non-living, such as stone. She is a founding member of ConnectingArt, a group of international artists.

Since 2000, she has exhibited her work in numerous solo and group exhibitions in museums and galleries in Croatia, Italy, France, USA, Greece,Austria and Jordan. Her works are in several public and private art collections such as the Kasinski collection, Sao Paulo/Brazil. Jasna Barisic represented the Republic of Croatia at the International Biennale of Contemporary Art in Florence / Italy in 2003, at the Art festival in Chania / Greece in 2003, at the United Nations Building in New York within the CA project Connecting People, Connecting Cultures in 2006, and the Jordan Art festival in Amman / Jordan in 2009 at the invitation of the Ministry of Culture of the Kingdom of Jordan. 

She was chosen for art residencies, International Biennal Mediteran, in Trogir /Croatia in 2009 and Art & Science International Festival, in Patras / Greece in 2010 and many more.
