BIOGRAPHY:

Aleksandar Nedić, better known under his artistic name Uzengia, was born in Vukovar (Croatia) in 1977. He has been into visual arts since childhood when he started to paint and draw. He was studying painting for a few years at the Academy of Fine Arts in Banja Luka (BiH), and today he is a professional illustrator. Uzengia has been actively engaged into photography for several years now and he prefers digital photography with a strong emphasis on post production. The essence of his work is nature in its two contexts; one of what surrounds man and the other of what fulfills him. By using powerful photo manipulation Aleksandar ‘changes and twists the nature until he gets a certain atmosphere that offers a new meaning and different perspectives.’ The reason for such process is because Nedić feels that “sometimes reality is simply not expressive enough – it doesn’t send the right message or it transmits an incorrect meaning.’ Uzengia is known to the general public for the two awards Kadar of the Photodays Rovinj 2009 competition that he received for the categories Architecture and Generated images. Although he participated in several group exhibitions in Croatia, Slovenia, Italy and the UK, this PUNI KRUG (eng. FULL CIRCLE) exhibition is his first solo presentation.
