Born in Croatia in 1958, Tony Belobrajdic is a Sydney based figurative artist. He started exhibiting in the late seventies and had his first solo show in 1983 in Croatia. Tony moved to New York in 1987 where he continued his art practice. He exhibits both in Sydney and Europe regularly.  Acrylics, watercolours and oils have been the mediums of choice. Etchings is the latest medium being explored and studied with a great passion.
His style could be described as contemporary impressionism, mostly portraits and figures.
Tony’s artwork demonstrates distinct freedom using spontaneous brushstrokes and vivid colours. He combines layered figuration of human forms put in abstract situations.
