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 16 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.Raić. This is actually the origin of catalogue numbers - and consequence: all my painting so far (222 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 33 personal exhibitions and 14 collective in Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, Germany, Switzerland, USA and Canada.

POVRATAK U SARAJEVONakon burna 4 mjeseca ponovo sam u svom gradu, u svom domu. Donio sam mnoštvo novih fotografija, pripremiti materijal za rekonstrukciju i dopunu mog WEB-a, koji mi je - iako nedovršen i nepotpun - vrlo korisno poslužio tamo daleko.Kako ste mogli pratiti u Vijestima, osim boravka u prelijepom Sietlu (Seattle), puno sam putovao: Istočni Vašington (E.Washington), Las Vegas, Los Anđeles (L.Angeles) i Viktorija (Victoria), glavni grad Britiš Kolumbije (B.C.) u Kanadi (Canada). Imao sam dvije zapažene izložbe, od kojih posebno moram istaći moju JUBILARNU, 25-tu samostalnu likovnu izložbu „SENZACIJA“ („SENSATION“) u jednoj od najstarijih kraft galerija u SAD (42 godine): NORTHWEST CRAFT CENTER AND GALLERY, Seattle Center, Seattle. Posebnu čast mi je ukazao g. Greg Nickels, gradonačelnik grada Sietla, koji je sa svojim štabom prilikom otvaranja „WINTERFEST“-a posjetio i moju izložbu. Raduje me da će dio ovih eksponata, tj. 10 +1 računalna grafika, ostati u Galeriji kao stalna prodajna postavka ( u po 100 primjeraka ). Ponuđena IZLOŽBA PORTRETA u galeriji „ISUSU ON FIRST“ na prestižnoj, umjetničkoj i turističkoj Prvoj aveniji, moraće da sačeka riješenje financiranja, dok je donekle dogovorena izložba povodom „DANA SEVDAHA“ otpala radi neodazivanja organizatora na def.dogovor ( a bila je to njihova ideja i zamolba!). Šteta, prije svega – SEVDALINKE RADI!Ostalo je da virtualnim putem okončam započete razgovore u još 3 galerije u Sietlu i 1 u L.Vegasu, što će vjerovatno biti dobar razlog da na proljeće krenem ponovo „preko bare“.
