Caterina Maffeis

Mersad Berber (1940-2012) was born in Bosanski Petrovac, Bosnia-Herzegovina. He trained at the Academy of Fine Arts in Ljubljana where he graduated with a BA and MA. In 1978, Berber received a teaching position at the Academy of Fine Arts in Sarajevo.

Berber is one of the best known graphic artists in the world. He was included in the Tate Gallery collection in 1984.

Throughout his career he created cycles of paintings which chronicle events, homages and dedications. Each cycle had its roots in Bosnian-Herzegovinian history from the medieval to the 20th century. His works are characterised by the intermingling of ancient motifs with a more modern commentary, captivating in their iconic mystery and intensity. His surfaces are as complex as his subjects, combining techniques from various times and places while maintaining an aesthetic and allure that has drawn collectors for the past 40 years. 

Berber was occupied with painting, graphic art, tapestry, illustrating and preparing bibliographic editions, graphic and poetic maps. His scenography and costume design came to life in theatres in Ljubljana, Zagreb, Sarajevo and Washington. In 1985, Berber finished Tempo Secondo, his own animated cartoon.

Berber resided and worked in both Zagreb and Dubrovnik.
