Dear,
I would like to thank you for sharing some of your valuable time to explore a part of my works presented in the art over past 19 years.
Almost by accident, a start without ambition, on Friday 6th of May 1990, I began a parallel work on my two paintings: aquarelle AVANTURA (catalogue no: 001) and painting in oil TVRDJAVA (catalogue no: 002) – this all as a result of my family and friends insisting on going further with painting, but also as a result of my inner desire to paint, as well. How and why I really do not know, but by the time these two works were finished, one blank notebook, present by chance, became the catalogue of paintings of I.F.Raič. This is actually the origin of catalogue numbers - and consequence: all my painting so far (235 oil, aquarelle and pencile) in a catalogue, guaranteed unique, along with my certificate. Paintings, mostly in form of hyperrealism, with imperfections of nonprofessional and advantages of my engineering practice. I am studying intensively, following the works of others and presenting at my own exhibitions: until now 27 personal exhibitions and 15 collective in Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, Germany, Switzerland, USA and Canada.
