Biography
Nina Radonja
Nina Radonja (b. 1992, Sarajevo) is a Sydney-based artist known for refined trompe-l’oeil painting. Radonja holds an MFA from the National Art School, was a finalist in the Brett Whiteley Travelling Art Scholarship (2022), and her work is held in Artbank and private collections.
Nina Radonja is a painter working primarily with oil on aluminium. Her work explores veiling and illusion as a means of interrupting perception, often using blurring and trompe-l’oeil as tools to destabilise the image. Through these disruptions, her paintings draw attention to surface, artifice, and the mechanics of looking, while subtly unsettling expectations around contemporary painting.
The current body of work focuses on blurred female figures rendered in pop, high-key colour. The paintings draw on kitsch and girlish visual language while allowing more unsettling or ambiguous elements to surface. Made through layered processes using spray paint, airbrush, and oil, the works play with softness and artifice to create a synthetic charge.
