Artist's StatementFor me, art is a language of communication with the surrounding world and with myself, my personal system of signs that allows me to express what I am trying to understand and to involve others in this process. I perceive artistic practice as a tool of research, where through the creation of images and worlds I explore the nature of perception, thinking, and the inner transformation of a person.
For more than 18 years, I have been fully immersed in the development of virtual worlds, characters, environments, and the writing of scripts for digital spaces and social networks built upon them. My work exists at the intersection of art, technology, and philosophy. I create visual and semantic systems that reveal the theme of dialogue between a human and the new digital space, as well as with oneself within it.
Since 2021, I have been actively applying Artificial Intelligence in my practice, training Stable Diffusion models based on my own drawings. This approach allows me to create images that have no analogues in open access, ensuring the uniqueness of my visual language while preserving my signature style and artistic handwriting.
My main working tools include Stable Diffusion, Blender, Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Premiere, and other software as needed. However, I see technology merely as a conduit for ideas: at the core lies the artistic concept, where each work becomes a space for contemplation, immersion, and the search for meaning, uniting visual storytelling with the emotional experience of the viewer.

Goran's Portfolios
The World of Skifija.
Skifija is a fantasy world created by imagination and gathering in its ranks those who would like to develop in the world of role-playing games. You have complete freedom to create an image and continue the story with your participation. The original population of Skifija consists of gnomes, fairies, wizards and other fantasy creatures. But you can complement, and maybe even change the course of events if you have Knowledge, Experience and Strength.
I mainly use digital methods in developing characters, but sometimes I make sketches and drawings with pencil, watercolor or oil.
This time I did it with watercolor to feel the emotional state and dynamics of the character's movement. In the moment I have a team of characters, a environment in which they exist, all that remains is to write scenarios for the development of events and you will begin to live in a Fairy Tale or a Game.
Perhaps these sketches will be useful for other events not related to the Second Life environment, and my portfolio has also filled up a little with options that I can offer or use in future work.
A little history:
Since 2008, my life has been inextricably linked with the social environment of Second Life. I have a paid self-supporting account that has allowed me to live all these years.
In 2019, an idea arose to create a World with the ability to develop and join other role-playing worlds in existing environments of this type. The world bears the name of my brand and is generally read as the World of Skifija.
The World of Skifija is objects that can be transformed, animated, linked to scenarios for interaction, etc. for use in environments created using computer technology.
The brand (Skifija) belongs to me in Second Life.
The scripts, objects, textures that I use are created and uploaded by me, this is the author's work.
The resulting images were made on my computer, licensed and distributed in accordance with the attribution policy of Second Life or other service providers.

I use Artificial Intelligence as a research tool. This allows me to expand the possibilities of understanding a reality to which we have limited access. This is reminiscent of using a microscope or telescope, or other equipment that allows you to see what is invisible with the naked eye. In addition, I trained an Artificial Intelligence model on my graphic images and now I get the result of a style that matches mine. Of course, I have to make a choice of options, modify them in additional editors, but I get interesting results and I hope that the viewer will be just as interested in looking at them.
