About the Artist: Jovan Obican was born in Cannes, France, of Yugoslavian parents. From childhood on, Jovan devoted himself to art, scratching designs on mud pies when paper was unavailable. He trained with many recognized teachers and is identified with his style the world over, a style that is simple yet sophisticated; child-like yet masterfully adult; a style that tells a story with psychological, philosophical or sociological overtones. His people are always colorful, full of spirit, living with music and birds to bring them happiness. His fans and collectors are legion and include some of the most famous names in the world including American presidents, senators, ambassadors, film stars and European nobility. He has exhibited all over the world and is represented in many galleries and collections. Jovan Obican always had a tremendous following of collectors and became internationally known by word of mouth and his frequent invitations to display his works in the USA and Europe. His studio, in Dubrovnik, was a well-visited place, and an attraction to collectors, art enthusiast, and tourist. Obican was a prolific artist, achieving masterful results in a distinctive, unique art style. It is a conglomerate of tradition, history, legends, hero tails, epics, old customs and a derivation of folklore. It is a self-standing style, recognizable, cheerful, whimsical and a happy creation. A Bird is practically in every work of his art - like a trademark, it depicts love, peace, liberty, beauty, and happiness. Framed and an early edition, there are minor flaws - most unnoticeable and easily remedied with a professional cleaning.
