Biography

BRANKO MARJANOVIC
Calgary, AB

Originally from Europe, Branko Marjanovic immigrated to Canada in 1993, settling in Saskatoon, SK, and eventually moving to Calgary, AB, where he currently lives and works.

A self-taught artist, with a background in engineering and geology, Marjanovic’s works display both sound design and free flow elements. With a bright, saturated colour palette, and strategic light use, Marjanovic captures a distinct landscape style. Although Branko paints in both oils and watercolour, his preference is acrylics. Inspired by the Alberta landscape, Branko’s fascination is evident in his subject matter of the Canadian Rockies, where he spends his weekends and holidays hiking in the mountains.

Branko’s work has been displayed in private collections throughout Canada and the US. His work has been presented in galleries in both solo and group shows in Alberta and British Columbia.

“Painting is not work to me- it is something I become absorbed in. I am fascinated by the effect of the light and shade found in nature. Although I take photographs and sketches of the subject matter I paint, I do not allow them to control me. Thank you for the appreciation of my artwork. I am living the dream.”
