Spaceships represent works by Marko Ladjusic painted with the deepest black color ever produced on the planet, showcasing a unique acrylic technique that absorbs every trace of light—just like in the space around us.
His latest series, with completely non-reflective surfaces, marks a pioneering intersection of art and technology. Spaceships are a homage to his childhood dreams and imaginations, which he decided to transfer onto canvas.

Marko Ladjusic is a painter, sculptor, and multimedia performance artist. He works as a full professor at the Faculty of Applied Arts in Belgrade, where he lives, and also teaches at the Faculty of Technical Sciences in Novi Sad. Marko draws inspiration from everyday life and childhood, striving to present a desired imaginary reality. With a recognizable artistic style, he constructs distinctive systems devoid of realistic gravity, identifiable motifs, and precise proportions. His three-dimensional paintings, or “structures,” constantly play with perception and understanding, inviting the viewer to participate in the construction and discovery of numerous layers of color and meaning.
