Djordje Ozbolt's work is a profound reflection of his childhood, shaped by the wars in the former Yugoslavia and the diverse cultural influences he has encountered during his global travels. He skillfully integrates these experiences into his unique artistic perspective. His interpretations of various events, incidents, media images, and the exotic cultures he has experienced during travels take on an unfamiliar feel and presence on his works. This brings new dimensions of possibility to the traditional painting medium.

This brings new dimensions of possibility to the traditional painting medium. In his latest paintings, mysterious birds that exist solely in the artist's imagination take center stage. Ozbolt combines authentic art historical motifs with kitschy pop culture images, breaking away from conventional formal expressions. This paradoxical coexistence of order and disorder in his work captivates viewers, creating a sense of tension and grotesqueness that invites engagement with the artist's surreal sensibility.
