Aldin Popaja – Labyrinths
The painter, printmaker and teacher Aldin Popaja (born in 1971 in Jajce) can be described as a person living between two worlds. As a native of Bosnia and Herzegovina, he was profoundly affected by the human tragedy of the violent breakup of Yugoslavia during the first half of the 1990s. At GASK, Aldin Popaja is exhibiting paintings from two series: Flying Stones (2023–24) and Stone Sleepers (2025). Both series relate to the phenomenon of stećci, or tombstones, created between the mid-12th and early 16th centuries, which are mostly found in what is now Bosnia and Herzegovina.
