Saša Čertanc also known by the artist name ArtbySakidePaco is a Croatian visual artist known for his dual approach to landscape painting — merging the poetic with the conceptual.
His series “Anatomy of Nature” explores the meditative essence of classical landscapes, while “Anatomy of Altered Nature” transforms them into symbolic, dreamlike scenes that question perception and emotion.

Self-taught yet refined, Čertanc paints not what is seen but what is felt — the stillness, the longing, the unseen beyond the horizon. His glowing light, tonal contrasts, and ethereal color define a visual language both intimate and transcendental.

His works have been exhibited internationally, including Carrousel du Louvre, Paris, and MECC Maastricht, Netherlands, earning multiple distinctions across Europe and the USA, including first-place, finalist, and honorable mentions from institutions in France, the UK, the USA, and Slovenia.
Čertanc’s paintings are held in private collections worldwide.
