Desa Petrov Morar
(Sefkerin, 1946)

Desa Petrov Morar was born in 1946, in Sefkerin.

Desa started to paint actively in 1964, the year when she also had her first individual exhibition in Sefkerin. She primarily oil paints, but she does aquarelle, drawings, and sculptures, too. Parallel to her work as an artist, she likes writing poetry as well.

Most often, Desa paints folk and orthodox tradition, inspired by the stories of the elderly in Sefkerin and her childhood. Her hometown is particularly important when determining her artistic expression.

Desa became a member of the Gallery of Naïve Art in 1993, and she has participated in all its exhibitions since. She presented her work at exhibitions more than 60 times and participated in over 300 collective exhibitions in Serbia and abroad.
