Career

Since 1992 she exhibits in Croatia and abroad.[1] Her work has been commissioned for public spaces in Croatia including the Croatian Academy of Sciences and Arts Philological Institute.[2] Published by Durieux in 2013 her novel X with themes ranging from love, over symbolism in art and in nature, through the friction a woman artist is often facing in contemporary society. Art critic Nađa Bobičić nevertheless reminds us of the struggle towards the end, at which point the reader is awarded with an ending devoid of naivete, one which is full of optimism, one which reminds us of the cycles of creation and renewal.[3]

In the novel, Tatjana Bezjak is also concerned with the unenviable position of independent artists, especially artists who in this country, with more or less passion, struggle for survival.[4]

In 2017, Tatjana Bezjak has signed the Declaration on the Common Language of the Croats, Serbs, Bosniaks and Montenegrins.[5]
