I was born in Dubrovnik on January 31, 1987 as Sefedin Halilović. I spent my childhood as a protégé of the nursing home "Dr Ivo Vukušić" (later "Maslina"), where I started drawing at an early age and became interested in art. During my schooling, I regularly participated in various art competitions and received commendations and awards for my work. On the recommendation of a professor of fine arts, I succumbed to the tutelage of Slaven Tolj, where I get the opportunity to develop skills and knowledge presented through exhibitions in galleries throughout Dubrovnik, where I am recognized as an exceptional talent who will soon continue his education in art. At the age of fourteen, I was adopted and due to circumstances, my identity changed to Goran Pavić, and I moved to Osijek with my new family. My default direction was interrupted by the conservatism of my new parents, and despite my wishes, I continued my education at the School of Mechanical Engineering in Osijek, where I earned the title of heating and air conditioning installer, which greatly affected my irreversible departure from home. Arriving in Zagreb in 2008, I will switch to the profession of bricklayer at the Public Open University in Zagreb. The next few years were marked by "wandering" belly for bread in Croatia and life in Oslo, Norway, and constant painting and creation of works, many of which are in private collections throughout Croatia, Europe and the world. Over the years, I have won several awards and commendations for participating in various art projects in Croatia. I currently live and create in Zagreb using various techniques, media and artistic practices in private and public spaces, often in collaboration with active authors of all generations.
I am not a member of any professional art association. Some of the works can be found in the offer of the "Mala Gallery" in Zagreb, which sells works by the biggest and most important names in Croatian art.
