V. Chukich
Resume/Biography
"Among all of the fine arts only the graphic art does not permit to be played as a hobby activity. It is
not a restful walk. The way to the professional achievement is long and covered by heavy difficulties
and doubts. Every artist is walking along his own single and unrepeatable way alone. This forms the
high price paid for his unique profile.
Fifteen years ago I have discovered for my benefit such a creator, extremely capable and delicate. By
not only his non-ordinary name Chukich, but also by his thoughtful and perfectly performed graphics,
he appeared among us as a stranger. Not overloaded by visible attraction for cheap popularity. He
has come like through the centuries from ancient lands and civilizations to leave for us his personal
brand.
Since the very beginning V. Chukich has made a distinct line between him and the crowd of the
imitators and this has made him a relative to the previous generations."
