The artist Igor Pesocki was born on January, 25th, 1962 in Zagreb, as the first of two children.

His parents were Liveri and Maria Pesocki. He grew up with his grandfather, a shipbuilder. During this time the artist developed his love to the element wood.

His great-grandparents, a pastor family from Estonia, migrated early to the former Yugoslavia

As a trained electronics engineer, he worked for the former Yugoslavian national army from 1981-1991.

Between 1991-1994 Igor lived and worked in Germany together with his wife Vanja and their two children Ivan and Ivana.

He returned to Yugoslavia in 1994. Today he lives with his family in Danilovgrad, a town in Montenegro, Yugoslavia

Remarkable is the beginning of the artist´s career.

As he explained himself, Igor had a vision early 1996, in which he saw a biblical cross.

This cross became his first work. The material he used was oak. The completed artwork was later given to the metropolitan Amfilohi at the monastery Cetinje in Montenegro.

From this time on the autodidact began to produce biblical motives, at first simple and then increasingly more complicated and time-consuming works, who still wait to find their equal in artistic quality, technique and design.

It speaks for the artist, that he has given many of his valuable works to monasteries, due to his deep belief or to private persons, who he was grateful to for their help, as you can notice in the gallery.

Naturally some of his art work can still be bought.

Here in Germany, we lately had the opportunity to see some of his works at an exhibition in Wartaweil near Lake Ammersee. In Greece the artist was invited to several speeches by the Academy of Arts in Saloniki.
