Transformers
History
Born in Titograd in 1992, Danilo is currently a student of the faculty of the arts at UDG (University Donja Gorica). He held the title of the Balkan and European champion in Karate. Being a fan of comics and Counter-Strike, he developed a strong interest and liking in toys which transform from cars into warriors.In 2012, Danilo created his first Transformer out of metal waste called “Transformers Rammtron” for the Ecological Festival in Durmitor, Montenegro; on the theme of Environmental Protection.Wasteland became a place where he continues to create art. His inspiration is human relation with comfort and consumer mentality and social values.
Danilo states that “All human necessities end up being wasted. I have to admit that the scenery at the junk yard is not pretty. You can see a huge human demand for comfort that is consumed in a short period of time and then scrapped as junk. Humankind is not aware of its consumption of resources and is rather focused on their daily desires. Humans have lost all faith, hope and stability and become separated from nature. Maybe the only solution is to put on our favorite superhero costume and make the needed change we want to see.”
During the following 5 years, Danilo made 20 Transformers sculptures from waste metal, spanning from 2 to 15 meters tall.The Transformers sculptures were displayed in the main city squares of Podgorica, Belgrade, Osijek, Zadar and Zagreb.In 2016, “Baha Fine Art Gallery” became the proud owner of all his sculptures, resulting in the Transformers sculptures being affirmed internationally.
Baha Fine Art Gallery organized an exhibition in Milan at the museum of Science and Technology “Leonardo DaVinci”. The exhibition lasted for 6 months, according to the museum’s management, it was the most visited exhibition in the last 15 years.
From Milan, the Transformers were moved to Graz to the museum of Arnold Schwarzenegger where they continue their mission: the transformation of humanity’s consciousness towards the planet Earth.
