| Project Viaggio is a visual reconstruction of itinerary of an early linguist and traveler to India Filip Vezdin, described in his book Viaggio alle Indie Orientali, wherein he researched the lack of communications between distant cultures. He tried to reverse the flow of communication to the point where lack of knowing of different languages is abridged by visual component of different scripts. |

about me...
“Branka Ridicki from Croatia engages in colouristic exercises inspired by her native Dalmatia rendering imaginary landscapes of wonder and hope. Her bejewelled colours are reminiscent of her spiritual homeland India capturing both its indescribable beauty and its sublime sensorial texture.
Ridicki was born in Zadar, Croatia where she studied languages art and literature at the University of Zagreb. After working for years as a teacher and translator she turned to film and painting bringing to these media her experience as a humanist and scholar. Thus her abstract works are informed by her knowledge of art history but arise from a fresh perspective and a self imposed tabula-rasa to emerge as sensuous discourses on spirit.”
