Fine artist Zlatko Kopljar ​​graduated in painting in 1991 at the Accademia di Belle Arti in Venice in the class of Carmela Zottia. He continues to work in Zagreb. He represented Croatia at the São Paulo Biennial in 2004, and exhibited independently in Ljubljana, Prague, New York, Graz, Venice, Berlin, Milan, Cologne and Antwerp.

Permanently preoccupied with ethical and existential themes, in his first installations, video works and performances he deals with the primordial questions of human existence, themes of sacrifice and redemption, the search for one's own identity and the sublime, using the symbolic language of biblical motifs and ritual gestures, and drawing inspiration from the art of Caravaggio, Joseph Beuys and Andrei Tarkovsky. The term is profiled with a series of performances, actions and photographs of characteristically silent performances in black suits, expressive and emotional body gestures, which since 1997 have been denoted by the letter K ("construction"). Consistently, sometimes very radically, he questions the position of the individual in the contemporary order of power, the age of globalization and turmoil; from the criticism of hegemony and inequality in the world and senseless violence, to conveying the spiritual state and personal trauma and the expression of rebellion against artistic institutions and the social position of the artist. He then turns to the medium of film; narrative cycle, often with a surreal atmosphere, in which he turns intimate symbolism into universal metaphors with the central figure of the artist as a superpersonal symbol of Man in contemporary society. In recent works, he turns to a reduced, hermetic expression, a reflection of resignation over the emptiness of meaning in today's art world.
