Pittore, umorista, scrittore e disegnatore di fumetti, Gradimir Smudja è un artista dotato di una vena di lucida follia che lo porta a definirsi “artista schizofrenico e paranoico”.
Smudja, a talented artist gifted with a peculiar pictorial style mainly inspired by French post-impressionism, makes a distinctive use of painting, not only as a source of visual inspiration, but as the focal point of his stories.
Smudja, in-fact, turned to fame in 2003 thanks to his Vincent et Van Gogh, a fictional biography of the most famous Dutch painter, carried out in a style greatly influenced by the paintings of the notorious artist.
