The works of Ivana Radovanović and Adin Rastoder represent two independent artistic concepts with a shared theme – the theme of anthropology, and man – whichfully corresponds with this edition's theme 'Viva Arte Viva', given that it is universally known that the source of art is human. This concept is an invitation, an appeal to change the world in which we live. Art is a symbol, a medium that connects peoples and cultures. Art is the actual triumph of the human spirit.
The two selected artists belong to the younger generation, and in addition to conveyinggreat creative and expressive potential, they are well versed in art theory, so that their vision, energy, and artistic forceare the key drivers of the project 'Čovjek-Uomo-Human'.
