‘This one I wanted to make with black and colored ink as an experiment and I am pretty satisfied with the final results. It’s a combination of brush and pen, black and colored ink. There’s also a composition scheme that can be seen as an homage to some Malevich paintings. I like to use and make some kind of homage from time to time.
The narrative part of this drawing also has some connections and similarities to some drawings that I made before.
Turbo-Rex Razor is some kind of living creature-machine host who’s helping his pig and frog. This is more like a far away future in different kind of world where things aren’t the same anymore.
Also, I like his mask with horn and there’re some references to some animated cartoons and sci-fi movies as well.’

Davor Gromilovic

Davor Gromilović is a Serbian visual artist, born in 1985, whose work occupies a unique and compelling space within contemporary drawing and painting. Based in Sombor, his practice, while rooted in the pictorial, expansively explores art books, illustration, sculpture, and design, demonstrating a multifaceted creative intellect.

Gromilović’s art is profoundly narrative, weaving a rich tapestry of influences into a singular, imaginative aesthetic. He masterfully draws from the well of fairy tales, folk art, and Pop Surrealism, yet grounds his fantastical visions in the meticulous discipline and symbolic depth of Northern Renaissance masters. This synthesis results in a body of work that is both intricately symbolic and purified in its execution, offering complex reflections of his inner world and personal experiences.

His distinctive visual language, populated with recurring personal symbols, explores profound emotional landscapes, creating a universe that is at once mythical and intimately human. The significance of Gromilović’s work is affirmed by its inclusion in prestigious international private and public collections, such as the Solo Collection Museum in Madrid, the Luziah Hennessy Collection, and the Bernard Ruiz-Picasso Collection. Further cementing his international reputation, his work has been the subject of several solo publications—including Bestiary and Wrong Time Wrong Place—and featured in acclaimed international magazines from Germany’s Fukt to the USA’s Hi-Fructose Magazine.
