Marko Modic (born 26 August 1958 in Ljubljana) is a Slovenian photographer, painter and visual artist from Ljubljana, Slovenia.[1]
Photographic and artistic circles of the world attributed Marko Modic a special place because of his unique and colorful works of art.[2]
Biography
In 1976 he got his first camera
Praktica from his father. At the beginning he worked in black and white photographs and later embarked on a more complex photo-montage that he uses also in his work today. Photograph is used occasionally as a basis on which then he draws a picture. In his work are photographs, paintings, books, as well as performances. Modic's enigmatic photographic works show an extreme sensibility towards perception and use of colors. He captures details of everyday objects or places and uncommonly presents them in insolation, neither in a content nor in perspective-evoking ambiguous interpretation and curiosity...[3]
In 1988 Marko Modic won "Zlata ptica" ["Golden Bird"], a Slovenian award for extraordinary achievements in the fields of cultural creation.[4]
Marko Modic has exhibited his photographs widely at home, in Italy,
Ecuador,
Argentina, UK, Canada... In 2011 he had an exhibition "Written on skin of the Earth"[5] in Tivoli Park in Ljubljana, Slovenia and in
Whyte Museum of the
Canadian Rockies,
Banff, Canada.[3]
At the end of 70's and in the early 80's he was an active member of
Ljubljana Cave Exploration Society (DZRJL), took part in high mountain deep cave exploration, was the editor of the society's journal Glas podzemlja [Voice of the Underground] and contributed to design and contents of other caving publications.[6][7][8][9]
Marko Modic lives in Ljubljana, Slovenia (2019).
