Edin Alijagic was born on April 19th 1951 in Trebinje, a picturesque town situated on the southernmost border of Bosnia. The town's most famous landmark is the Arslanagica bridge, a 16th century masterpiece from the Ottoman Empire and one of Edins earliest inspirations, as he crossed over it daily.
Edins love of art was inspired by his uncle yet it was obvious from a young age that Edin had natural talent and he was mostly self taught taking his inspiration from the villages and countryside around him.
As an adult Edin worked as a truck driver but continued to paint in oils, water colours and Pointillism (a technique of painting in which small distinct dots are applied in patterns to form images).
In 1990 the shy Edin was encouraged by his wife Jasmina and his family and friends to exhibit his collection of work. The exhibition was so successful that Edin quit his driving job and became a professional painter. His wonderful depiction of Bosnian landscapes were much sought after. In July 1999 the family were given the opportunity to come to Ireland after escaping war torn Bosnia. They settled in North West Dublin where Edin has continued to paint.
