Tomislav Topic was born in 1985 in Hannover, Germany.
He lives and works in Berlin, Germany.
Topic is known for his colorful, site-specific art installations, in which he knows how to reduce his work to the actual essence of art itself: color and form. These are elevated to the sole and primary content of his art. His abstract works and the fundamental focus on colour and form allow him to create universally understandable installations, that enable the viewer to experience art in a true and direct way. In Topic’s work, the uplifting power of beauty and the logic of science enter into a symbiosis, which challenges us to perceive the environment with expanded senses. Whether painting or installation, his art has the ability to resonate worldwide as an internationally valid form of expression and also to unite people of very different cultures in art.
Over the years Topic has created a stylistically unique and unmistakable oeuvre. He has been able to realise numerous installations and murals in public spaces worldwide.
