Career
Pešić"s works (sculptures, objects) have been represented at many important exhibitions in Serbia (Oktobarski salon) and at different art fairs in Europe (Viennafair in Vienna and Art Fair in Cologne) by Zvono Gallery. Nikola consists of highly esthetic objects which hide and generate at the same time different meanings by means of their simple pleasing forms and lines. According to Nikola, art must be attractive "at first sight".
His sculptures are made of transparent and dim polyesters, epoxy and acrylic resins, magnifying glasses, mirrors, brass and other polished and reflecting materials.
As he himself says: "My sculptures should reflect my wish to make something perfect, and at the same time the impossibility to do lieutenant I think that the manually shaped forms have special enchant and power.
