Zeljka Paic was born in 1987 in Prijedor, former Yugoslavia.
She is a graduate of both the Academy of Fine Arts (2015) and Faculty of Architecture and Civil Engineering (2011). Zeljka Paic has garnered multiple accolades including the award from the Association of Innovators of the Republic of Srpska for her contribution to the innovative approach to art, in 2024.
As an artist and architect, Zeljka Paic combines her two professions to create an original style of painting: imagination, fused with knowledge of geometry, composition, and color harmony, are the foundational principles of her art.
Since 2017 she has exhibited her paintings internationally, first showing her architecture-inspired paintings and then sculptures from the Art Beyond Frames Series. Her work has been exhibited as far and wide as New York, Paris, Amsterdam, Venice, and London. She was featured in The Guardian’s Future of Art – in Pictures article and picked as one of the top 5 artists by Art Aesthetics Magazine for The Other Art Fair in London in 2017.
Her artworks are collected in the US, Canada, United Kingdom, France, Belgium, Netherlands, Germany, Italy, Switzerland, Spain, Israel, Saudi Arabia, Japan, Hong Kong, Singapore, South Korea, etc.
