Artist Statement -



Melita Kraus

A painter, sculptor and writer was born in Bjelovar in 1954.

Ms. Kraus is a member of Croatian Association of Applied Arts.
From 1990 she participated in more than one hundred group exhibitions in the country and abroad.



From 2010 her sculpture “Travelers” was accepted by Curators of Museum Yad Vashem, Jerusalem, Israel, to be a part of an international permanent collection in the Museum.

As a successor of a family of Holocaust survivors, she is devoted to the revival of themes in intellectually liberated manner, transforming the anxiety of nature and a terror of the theme into a sophisticated material of art, which pure and innocent yet bears an attractive stamp of the mystery of world long forgotten.


Some of her finest works are also treasured in the Museum of Contemporary Art in Zagreb, Croatia.
