Painter Sašo Gantar was born in 1959, as the last of six children in a poor rural family, the dreamy river Krka, in an idyllic and unspoiled Dolenjska region in the south of Slovenia. At that time there were difficult times, but furthermore the destiny changed his life in one single day – when he was 8 years old both of his parents passed away at the same day. His 11 years older sister took guardianship over him, and he spent almost 15 years with her family. He often says his sister with her husband are his parents and their daughters his sisters.
He lives in Ljubljana as a single parent of two teenagers, son Rok and daughter Ana, together with mandatory dog and spoiled cat.
From his youth times he has been occupied with painting in different techniques, but among things that he really likes to do have always also been sports and music. He trained soccer, which was the only affordable sport at the time, he played drums in several garage bands, but art eventually prevailed.
Seriously devote himself to painting. For the year departs to Africa where he paints.
He graduated rather late in 2004 at the ARTHOUSE - COLLEGE FOR THE VISUAL ARTS, as the best student in the academic year. The theme - a realistic portrait.
He is a realist and traditionalist, as demonstrated in his paintings, but in the repertoire of his works you can also find realistic abstractions, which are mainly the product of thinking and research of compositions.
He looks for motifs for paintings in nature in its most hidden places. It is very important for him to be able to feel the motif to see him. He does not paint on order except in very special cases. One of the exceptions is a portrait.
He mainly creates in environment, which is for him king’s technique, as well as portraits in chalk, charcoal etc.
Since the architecture has attracted him from old he has lately been dedicating more and more time to painting urban motifs. When there is a human being as a part of the architectural composition, an organic character is given to such a specific composition.
He does not have any, specific role models, he respects everyone, but he tries to avoid details of the older masters. He develops his own style of painting and tries to stay authentic and true to its principles.
