Nenad Mirkovich
The man whose first name means “surprise” in his native language delivers that
element in his paintings of tranquil landscapes, crashing coastlines,
peaceful symphonies and energetic jazz bands. Collectors of all ages and
of varied lifestyles find something in the diverse repertoire of Nenad
Mirkovich to delight the senses. He delights himself with the reactions
of viewers when they discover that the same talented artist painted all
these scenes. Born in Belgrade, Mirkovich, now 51, has made his home in Houston, Texas, since
1985. He began painting and drawing as a young child, and his background
as a portrait painter and magazine illustrator in Yugoslavia helped him
to develop his varied styles, says his wife Donna.
His
passions—besides painting—are fishing and cooking. He owns more than
150 fishing rods, makes his own lures and can sit in a boat for hours and hours, pulling out fish,”
Donna says. He also is a gourmet cook, and has developed a favorite dish
he calls “Nenad Chicken.
A fourth passion is music, which Mirkovich often combines with his art. Working mostly at
night, Mirkovich paints with music playing in the background, usually
jazz or classical pieces. Often, also, there is music on his canvas; musicians and musical groups are favorite themes.
