Mile Davidovi?, from street vendor to exhibiting in Paris

Mile Davidovi?, a naive artist, was one of the first to realize the importance of digitalization. In 1995, he could have bought a car, but instead, he created a website. Then he got much more! A few days later, thanks to his website a buyer from America contacted him. The most important invitation for the exhibition in Paris followed soon after. From street vendor to an exhibition in Paris, the life path of a painter.

The naive artist, an economist by profession, describes himself as a lover of travel and nature. He proudly points out that he has visited more than 50 countries worldwide.

He discovered his love for painting at school, but his parents thought one could not make a living from art, so he studied economics. He worked in this profession for 12 years, and the best advice he received from a colleague, which changed his life, was: "Son, if you do not feel like going to work, you better go back home!"

His paintings leave no one indifferent. The countryside and nature are the eternal inspiration for his paintings. He admits that he would never be able to paint urban naivety as some of his colleagues do. A modern city like Paris or Vienna would never fit his vision.

With his art, he wants to show the beauty and happiness of life in the countryside and send a message to people in his own way, asking them to return to nature.

He tries to make his paintings as colorful and contrasting as possible. He achieves this with oil paints. The primary emotions he wants to show in his paintings are happiness and love.

Naive painters are not educated, but he "stole knowledge" and improved his skills in the studios of some of the best local painters. Although he began his artistic career as a street vendor of paintings, he was invited to exhibit at the Paris Autumn Salon. Behind this success are great talent, knowledge and hard work.

At the first exhibition in Paris, he sold all his paintings. What pleased him most was not the financial aspect but "that a good voice can be heard far and wide." Since then, he has regularly received invitations to exhibitions from Barcelona, Brussels and Amsterdam... Initially, he accepted all invitations with pleasure, while today, he is a little more selective about where he exhibits. He emphasizes that you can make a living from art in Serbia if you are successful. It has allowed him to live his life and combine his two great loves: Traveling and painting.
