Emilija Pasagic

Biography

Emilija Pasagic is a native of Belgrade in the former Yugoslavia. Formally educated in landscape architecture, she worked in Europe for several years. She arrived in Canada in 1993, where she and her family continue to live.

Emilija’s settlement in Canada sparked an artistic rejuvenation. Early works include painting on silk and an intense series of abstracted fruits and figures. She became involved in the vibrant Toronto art scene, joining "The Scollard Street Artistic Cooperative" and VAO (Visual Arts Ontario). Her present focus is still life painting, executed in a richly textured encaustic medium.
