Marko Obradović - Keyhole, 2025, oil on wood panel, 40 x 16 x 2.5 cm

Marko Obradović (1998) is a visual artist from Belgrade, Serbia. His practice includes painting, printmaking, installation, and video, with a focus on the ephemeral nature of identity, memory, and spirituality. Obradović draws inspiration from collective testimonies, shared cultural imagery, and cross-cultural symbolism, weaving together narratives that reflect personal and societal belief systems. His works often feature talismans, trinkets, and spiritually resonant objects, positioned within ambiguous, dreamlike settings. These compositions evoke raw, muddy, and sometimes ominous atmospheres that transcend the boundary between the human and a-human, suggesting an undercurrent of transformation or esoteric inquiry.

Obradović is interested in how objects and imagery carry spiritual weight and mythological histories, prompting introspection in the viewer. His practice invites a re-examination of the symbolic systems we inhabit, challenging notions of the self within community and ritual. He graduated from the Faculty of Fine Arts in Belgrade and has exhibited both locally and internationally in solo and group shows.
