Klara B. Klarić — Contemporary Artist

1 / 5

Biografija

Biljana Klarić - Klara is a visual artist working across painting, video, information architecture and digital technology. Her practice begins with questions about perception: how we look, how we understand what we see, and how images shape our knowledge of the world. Painting, light, data and technology become different means of investigating these questions, moving between sensory experience and systems of information.
