STEFAN LUKIĆ

Stefan Lukić is a Serbian visual and performance artist whose vision is to capture the universal state of being in transit, migration, and constant movement. He is intrigued by the role of travelers and eyewitnesses and strives to represent them through his art. Roads, distances, and we as travelers become the connection between places, memories, ideas, people, life, love, human struggle, and death. Stefan Lukić’s paintings almost always speak of the process of searching and transitional points — expressing feelings of constant flux, a movement that never ends. He reminds us that it is all about the journey, not the destination. He emphasizes the act of wandering the road more than the act of arriving. In his paintings, we discover more about how we are seeking, and less about what we are seeking.

Performances by Stefan Lukić — or as he calls them, drawing-events — are similar to his paintings. They are more raw, unfiltered like life itself, without any mediation, embracing all the unpredictable situations that may arise.

Stefan Lukić completed his Master’s studies at the Faculty of Fine Arts in Belgrade in 2022.
