About Paintings by Dusan
My name is Dusan Malobabic and I'm a father of two lovely boys. I live and work as an artist in Perth, Australia. Ever since I can remember I have drawn and painted and told people when I grow up, I want to be an artist.
I was very fortunate to have a great Art teacher in Secondary School who along with my parents, encouraged me to pursue this dream. I went on to complete my university degree in Fine Art - Painting from the Victorian College of the Arts in Melbourne.
I mainly work with oil paint applied with palette knives and brushes. The way I paint is the outcome of practise, self criticism and reflection that has evolved over time. People play an important part in my work and are as important as the landscape they find themselves in. This allows me to create narrative and direction for the flow through the image.
Every time I paint, I try to not only improve my technique, but to better understand my subject matter, and endeavour to connect to my ideas in a stronger way.
Thank you.
