BIOGRAPHY
Željko Uremović was born in 1957 in Vinkovci and grew up in a small village called Andrijaševci in eastern Croatia.
He graduated from the Academy of Fine Arts at the University of Zagreb in 1982 in the class of Professor Raoul Goldoni.
He started to hold exhibitions in 1985. He has held over 50 independent exhibitions in Croatia, Norway, the Czech Republic, Germany, Belgium, the Netherlands, France, Switzerland, Italy and Austria.
During the exhibition Grand Prix International d´Art Plastique held in 1990 in Nice, France, he was awarded for originality of technique and work of art.
Željko Uremović is a member of the International Christian Media Commission (ICMC) since the date of its foundation in Sheffield, UK, in 1991. He participated in several international conferences of artists - Christians (Austria 1993, Hungary 1995 and Croatia 1999). Since 1987 he has worked as an independent artist.
For some time he worked as a professor of fine arts in high school, and from 2014 - 2016 he held art workshops for older amateurs in his atelier in Trogir. Due to great interest, and especially from the youngest students, in 2016 he organized an art workshop for children at the Trogir promenade, by the church of St Dominik. Approximately 40 children participated in that workshop, from 2,5 to 12 years old.
During the winter he lives and works in the Czech Republic, for few years he has lived in Prague, and since 2013 he has been living in Pernink near Karlovy Vary. During the summer season he works and exhibits in Trogir, in southern Dalmatia, in his studio Open Atelier Uremović. It is always his pleasure to welcome guests interested in his work up to his Atelier.
