Bjanka Kadic Croatian, b. 1958

Bjanka Kadic is an artist and a photographer living in London. She graduated in photography from the University of Westminster (BA) and the University of the Arts (MA).

Her body of work has found its way into an assortment of esteemed editorial outlets, spanning the gamut from UK-based publications to those with a global purview.

 

Her artistic exploration manifests as a contemplation of the dynamic metamorphosis inherent to our surrounding environments, be they urban landscapes or the more bucolic countryside. Kadic's discerning eye often captures the transmutative qualities of light, which she distills through a meticulously curated monochromatic aesthetic. Her visual compositions, characterized by an austere and uncluttered design, deftly accentuate the narrative enigma latent within the visual tableau. Her oeuvre is underpinned by a fascination with the evanescent nature of existence and the boundless potential for storytelling embedded within the medium of visual representation. It is within the confines of her imagery that form and space coalesce, giving rise to a distinct visual lexicon that constructs its own immersive narrative landscape.
