Ruzica Zajec
Ruzica Zajec’s work often poses sensitive questions related to the idea of perception. She is committed to painting and drawing about the awareness of human presence in space, as humans and objects become spatially inseparable in her work. Zajec reflects upon the essence of our being, ideas of tangibility, visibility, and self-awareness. She is particularly interested in working with transparent and multi-layers materials as she experiments with light.
Ruzica Zajec (born 1959, Croatia) moved to Hannover, Germany to study visual art. She has had several solo and group exhibitions in Germany, Sweden, Japan, Croatia, and the UK. In 2014, she was the recipient of ArtPrize from the Mecklenburg Insurance Services Inc in Neubrandenburg, and in 2013, won the Rostock Art Prize.
