Miroslav Dajč
Miroslav Dajč is a graduate artist specialized in new media art, a professor of fine arts, and holds a Master of Fine Arts degree. He is also a glass artist, as well as a horse trainer and riding instructor—bringing together the worlds of visual art and equestrian discipline in a distinct creative practice.
After years of working with glass, he founded Deutsch workshop for glass objects creation, glass fusion and stained glass production.
The process of creating this glass piece began with the accidental destruction of a gifted sculpture—a self-portrait of me, created by Nataša Panian. What started as an unintended break became a new artistic journey: transforming loss into a new expression of identity.
