Roman Zalac
Since childhood, drawing and doodling were Roman’s constant companions. However, it wasn’t until the early 2000s that Roman began his artistic journey, drawing inspiration from his surroundings at the time – specifically Miami Art Deco, with its layered drama of the urban experience. Since Zalac was born in Zagreb, Croatia, his chosen motifs and backgrounds also suggest a European influence. Presently, he lives in Bishop, Georgia, about an hour from Atlanta.
Over the years, Roman’s style evolved into what it is today: a rich amalgam of people, places, and personal experiences, explored well beyond the surface. Roman’s use of color and choice of content creates lasting impressions that evoke strong emotions. What began as a means of keeping a record of self-expression has evolved into this shared visual diary.
