Artist

Aleksandar Basic

Aleksandar was born in Croatia, 1975. In 2002 he completed BA Illustration at University of Derby and in 2007 MA Media Arts at Manchester Metropolitan University. Aside from his work as an artist, Aleksandar also works with adults and children as a lecturer and a teacher. He has also had his animations published in a number of high profile publications including The Independent.

“I am very much interested in existentialism, impressionism, cubism and most of the other isms. When creating artwork, I am not thinking about style but rather how and what I want to achieve. I am very much interested in “how things work” and I investigate this in some aspects of form, shape and colour.

“I find that there is more in essence of the things than in their appearance. My motifs are people, things and places that have left impressions on me.”
