About Sead
and the Art
Sead Emrić is a painter and artist from Bosnia and Herzegovina, who celebrates the richness, diversity and history of his homeland and its people. He uses various media, such as drawing, graphics, oil or acrylic painting, threads and gauze, to create works that capture the essence, spirit and identity of Bosnia. His artistic spectrum spans from ancient times to modern days, as he depicts the landscapes, characters and feelings of Bosnia. He is a seeker and lover of Bosnia, who uncovers its secrets and mysteries through his paintings.
The spectrum of artistic work by Sead Emrić, an artist from Bosnia and Herzegovina, is not only a reflection of the special characters of the three peoples from his homeland, but also a reflection of the characters of the three religions from the Book. Transformations or conversions were already part of Genesis as recorded in the Torah of the Old Testament. Chaos was converted into order in the Universe and feelings became part of the World with the Creation of Man – and thus knowledge (Cognition), the cause of expulsion from Paradise. Salvation by Jesus Christ, recorded in the New Testament, reopens the gates of Paradise, but only to those who are pardoned on the Last Judgment. Muhammad, who in the Qur’an recognizes Jesus, in Arabic Isa, as a Prophet, describes Life and the End of the World. According to his prophecy, this will happen when Jesus, the Christian Prophet, appears on Isa’s minaret of the Omayyadden mosque in Damascus. The wide spectrum of artistic work by Sead Emrić is therefore described by Transformations and Feelings, stretching from Genesis to the End of the World, as described in the Book of the three religions. His paintings also reflect the characteristics of the three peoples from his homeland.

Sead Emrić, painter and artist. How to briefly summarize the complexity of a seeker, explorer, lover of Bosnia since it exists. With his persistence and consistency, he reveals Bosnia through drawing, graphics and painting in oil or acrylic, with woven threads and gauze that heal its wounds. He shows it to us as mysterious, blurred, layered, sturdy, proud, “defiant of the dream”. With each of his works, he asks us to recognize its landscapes and the accumulated meaning hidden by secret beauty. He is a painter who harmonizes opposites and reconciles extremes in the enigmatic knot of Bosnia and that is the beauty and charm of the present and future of Sead Emrić’s painting.
