Bélavie

Bélavie is a contemporary visual artist hailing from Croatia, whose unique works blend elements of neo-expressionism with techniques inspired by street art and abstract experimentation. Drawing deeply from the landscapes and layered histories of the Adriatic coast, Bélavie explores themes of identity, memory, and connection, often incorporating mixed media, vivid color palettes, and dynamic textures. Since emerging onto the regional art scene in the mid-2010s, Bélavie has exhibited in galleries throughout Croatia and neighboring countries, gaining recognition for a deeply personal approach that weaves together nostalgia and forward-looking vision.

The artist’s practice is rooted in the belief that art serves as both mirror and catalyst—reflecting the complexities of cultural heritage while inviting viewers into transformative encounters. In recent years, Bélavie has participated in international residencies and collaborative community projects, continually expanding the narrative possibilities of visual storytelling and solidifying a distinctive voice among Croatia’s rising generation of creators.
