Di Gaspar (born Dimitrije Lorenca Gaspar; 12 April 1938 – 15 September 2022) was a painter and graphic artist whose work combined elements of surrealism and symbolism with mythological themes.
Biography
Gaspar was born in Gevgelija, in the former Kingdom of Yugoslavia, in 1938.[1] He studied at the School of Art in Skopje and completed his education at the Academy of Fine Arts in Belgrade.[1][2]
Gaspar worked primarily in oil painting and drawing. His paintings featured surrealistic imagery incorporating mythological subjects and symbolic elements.[3] His compositions frequently depicted female figures, ancient world imagery, and combined symbolic elements.[4][2] Gaspar worked as an independent artist, a status he discussed in a 1987 interview with the newspaper Večer.[5]
Gaspar exhibited in Yugoslavia, Greece, Sweden, Germany, and the United States.[2] His work was shown in Sweden in 1977,[3] in Germany in 1989,[1][4] and in the United States in 1990.[2] In 1992, a television documentary on Gaspar's work was produced, directed by Trajče Eftimovski.[6] His drawings were exhibited at the World Gallery of Drawings Osten in Skopje in 2009 and 2010.[7][8]
Gaspar died in Gevgelija on 15 September 2022.[9]

Hans oljemålningar har surrealistisk prägel, fantasibilder som ibland fungerar som pessimistiska skildringar av människor och attityder, men som också kan vara mjukt dekorativa i varma färger eller sagoaktiga, som målningen av barnet och grodan.
