Painter Vasilisa Radojević dies in Nikšić at 71

Renowned Montenegrin painter Vasilisa Radojević has passed away in Nikšić at the age of 71.

A graduate of the Academy of Applied Arts in Belgrade, Radojević furthered her studies in Rome and Florence. Her artistic career included working as a set designer for Radio Television of Montenegro (RTCG). Her work was primarily focused on figurative painting and drawing within the realm of fantasy, characterized by expressive strokes and a color palette ranging from somber tones to eruptive colors.

Her compositions often featured hallucinatory scenes involving female figures, winged ballerinas, angels, and zoomorphic creatures set against backgrounds reminiscent of Marc Chagall’s works. Radojević exhibited extensively across Montenegro, Serbia, Croatia, Italy, and Sardinia, with significant exhibitions in major cities such as Paris, London, and Madrid. She was a member of the Association of Fine Artists of Montenegro since 1978.

Her funeral is scheduled to take place at the Old Cemetery in Nikšić.
