Life and influences

Ivan Radman was born on May 25th, 1974, in Zadar on the Dalmatian coast of Croatia. He discovered his interest in art early in his childhood. After completing grammar school Frane Petrić in Zadar - Mathematic and Information Technology Education Centre, Radman began studying architecture at the University of Zagreb in 1993. Under the influence of professor Josip Vaništa's work, a painter not architect, he decided to lead his carrier towards painting. From 1995 to 1999, Radman studied the basic skills of painting at the School of Painting Agora in Zagreb. In 2000, he completed painter Dino Trtovac's master class in painting. In 2009 he was enhancing his skills at The Prince's Drawing School in London. He lives in Zagreb and Zadar, Croatia.
