IGOR ESKINJA

Within the Artists-in-Residence Program, CCA is delighted to host the artist Igor Eskinja. Born in 1975 in Rijeka, Croacia, Eskinja studied painting at the Accademia di Belle Arti in Venice. He constructs his architectonics of perception as ensembles of modesty and elegance and ‘performs’ the objects and situations, catching them in their intimate and silent transition from two-dimensional to three-dimensional formal appearance. Igor currently lives and works in Rijeka and will be staying in Studio Amarillo during November 2022.
