Hanna Dujmović

Hanna Dujmović was born on June 16th 1994 in Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina.
From 2012 to 2014. she attended a sculpture department in class of renowned Sarajevo artist and professor Hasan Haljevac. She attended the final year of schooling in the class of professor and academic sculptor Lejla Čehajić.
During her second year of high school, she was hired to make an award for the first "Beton Fest" (street art fest) which was held in Sarajevo. Also in that period, her work relief "Still Life" was exhibited at an exhibition in Sarajevo's "haustors".
Since 2015 she has been attending sculpture in the class of Professor Mirsad Šehić, accompanied by assistant Darko Stanić. She gained experience working with materials such as clay, plaster, wood, metal, stone.
In 2016 she was selected as one of the representatives of the "Outdoor Atelier" project, which took place on the Festina Lente Bridge in front of the Academy of Fine Arts.
In the second year of study, some of her works were exhibited in the premises of the Rectorate of the Faculty of Law, University of Sarajevo.
In 2017 she took part in a traditional sculpting colony held in Cazin, the old town of Ostrozac. The goal of the colony is to preserve the cultural heritage, to enrich the public space located within the walls of the Cazin castle with sculptures made in Krajina's Bihacite stone. At the colony, she gained experience working with more complex material and thus with new tools that are used for processing.
In 2017 she was nominated for the Alija Kučukalić Award as the best student in her class with the work "Mother Nature" - an figure in a semi-recumbent position made of pellet. Until now, pellet have never been used for the purpose of making a sculpture, so attention has been drawn to this work.
After the nomination, she had a solo exhibition of works in the gallery of Raiffaisen Bank in Sarajevo, and was a participant in a group exhibition held within the gallery of the Academy of Fine Arts in Sarajevo.
In June 2017 she successfully graduated from the Academy of Fine Arts in Sarajevo with a high grade of ten. She was chosen as the Silver Badge of the University of Sarajevo.

Isolation diaries

Hanna Dujmović is BA of sculpture based in Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina.
Due to the lack of adequate space for a sculpture studio, she decided to present her art in the form of unique paintings on canvas. Since she cultivates a love for all artistic disciplines, it was not a problem for her to adapt to the space in which she works and creates.
The paintings are recognizable by the bright and strong colors used by the artist, as well as by the many details that enrich the composition.
The characters are presented inside an enclosed space that represents a warm and playful ambience, decorated with wavy and dynamic patterns that give the composition a very interesting story. The observer is drawn into a completely different dimension of life which is an indication that even in the difficult times in which we live through art we can experience one journey to beautiful places.
The artist finds inspiration for her works in an inexhaustible source of her imagination. In most of the paintings, the female character represents a self-portrait of the artist in a period of isolation.
