Almost a year has passed since I moved to Portugal to do what seemed “a short artist residency”, but it stretched for a year. The longer period was necessary to complete my work and research about the influence of the change in environment to artistic […]

“Finding inner peace“ / Serra do Bouro, Portugal (Day 188+)
Hello again, haven’t written for a while, my last blog entry was a month ago when I moved into a new house (read here). So many things have happened since I moved, but I’ve been working on a lot of things lately so I didn’t […]

“Moving to a new house“ / Serra do Bouro, Portugal (Day 154+)
This week it’s been dedicated to my packing and moving. I’ve moved to another city, not far away, but it’s still a new place and a new house which I need to get used to and transform into my new home. It’s strange how I […]

“Ancient nomadic soul“ / Serra do Bouro, Portugal (Day 147+)
January is passing by with the speed of light and I can’t believe February is around the corner. I got used to Portugal a lot and now I feel like home. I’ll stay here for a couple of months and then I’ll return back to […]

“December is over, long live 2015!“ / Serra do Bouro, Portugal (Day 124+)
December is over and here’s a new year: new beginning as they say. I never understood the concept of a new year since it’s just another day in the calendar and since I live each day with awareness of being happy and present in the […]

“After 24 years…“ / Serra do Bouro, Portugal (Day 104)
Today I’m “celebrating” my 104th day since I moved to Portugal for a period of six months to do a research and work on a project. The initial plan changed and now I’ve decided I will stay here for the whole year. Why is my main reason […]

“A visit to Óbidos“ / Serra do Bouro, Portugal (Day 53)
It’s been a while since I posted new things on my blog. Actually, it’s been a month since my last entry. Many things happened and I have tons of photos, so hopefully I will do a selection soon and publish it here, so I can […]

“September is over and why I like Portugal“ / Serra do Bouro, Portugal (Day 17 – 28)
It’s been almost a month since I arrived here in the first days of September. Now it’s the first day of October and I can’t believe how fast the time flies by! I’ve decided that I will spent whole September off, just relaxing and breathing, […]

“Hiking pleasure“ / Serra do Bouro, Portugal (Day 14 – 16)
This Sunday I’ve decided to do some hiking. I can’t help myself but I really enjoy the Portuguese nature. So I’ve packed my backpack and drove in the middle of nowhere. I pulled my car off the paved road and stopped somewhere. I saw an […]

“Two dogs, one adventure“ / Serra do Bouro, Portugal (Day 6 – 13)
Yesterday I reunited Lilly and Deuce back with her owner Jasmina, after they stayed with me and Urša for couple of days. She came to Portugal yesterday with a plane, but the dogs arrived one week earlier with Jasmina’s friends by car. So they stayed […]

“Endless beach in Nazaré“ / Serra do Bouro, Portugal – Day 6
Today was a lovely day, which started quite grey and we thought we will stay inside, but then we said to ourselves that we should still go to Nazaré and then see if we go around with umbrellas or just go for a coffee somewhere. […]

“On the edge of Europe“ / Serra do Bouro, Portugal – Day 3, 4, 5
It’s almost a week since I moved to Portugal and I explore it’s beauty every day. I feel comfortable and welcome, so I think this was a good decision. This is ESAD (Escola Superior de Artes e Design) where I will finish my master degree […]

“Exploring a new home“ / Serra do Bouro, Portugal – Day 2
Yesterday we finally arrived to Portugal after a long drive and I moved into my new home for 6 months. We arrived late so it was dark and we were to tired to look around. But we had a good night sleep and today we […]

“3,000 km journey to the West“ / Serra do Bouro, Portugal – Day 1
I moved to Portugal for 6 months and I’ve decided to go there with a car. 3,000 km to the West across the Europe. The journey was long and exhausting, but we are finally here.

„Video diary“ / Ceglie Messapica, Italy
This is a video documentation from my stay in Casaterra residency in Ceglie Messapica, southern Italy. The good memories are printed in my head and this video is just a glimpse of the wonderful inspirational stay in the worm Italian countryside. At the moment I’m […]

„Back to reality“ / Ceglie Messapica, Italy – Day 12, 13, 14, 15, 16
Days at Casaterra flew by like a drunk Friday night – everything happened so fast. The “cleaning process” without the internet, mobile signal and modern technology was good for me. I didn’t even took my camera out of the bag, I just used my mobile phone […]

“MAP in MOTION” / Rijeka, Croatia – Day 2
Another day on the ship Galeb. We had breakfast on the deck and later on continued with the project pitching and presenting our ideas and plans for realisation. At noon some of us had to run to the Gallery Kortil to set the exhibition MAP […]

“The opening” / Zagreb, Croatia – Day 2 & finish
