My name is Dusan Krtolica, I am 16 years old and I live in Serbia. Drawing is my greatest passion, and I find my inspiration in nature. I am mostly fascinated by animals and their great diversity, as well as their amazing ability to adapt to living in many different environments.
I started drawing when I was 2 years old. To this day, I had 6 solo exhibitions and participated in many TV shows where I talked about my work. When I was 13 years old I wrote and illustrated an encyclopedia of the prehistoric world, which has been published in my country. My book has already been translated into English and I am still looking for a new publisher.
There is a huge interest in my work, so I am selling my drawings across the world. What I am most happy about is that all my customers also became my friends.

You are so very talented. Do you do commission works?
Thank you, yes I am selling my works. You can see more of them on my facebook page.
Those look great. Where do you get your ideas? Do you have an eidetic memory, so when you see something on tv or in a zoo, you can just draw it? Or how does that work? Because it all looks very detailed.
Nice you’ll be a good artist
You are passionate! Check out Walton Ford, how Sophie Calle and Christiane Möbus use animals in their art and of course, animal studies by Delacroix :) happy studying- and remember Ars longa Vita brevis!
I am so, so amazed by your talent and attention to details!
