About

Saša Čertanc, also known under the artist name ArtbySakidePaco, is a Croatian contemporary visual artist recognized for his atmospheric and emotionally driven approach to landscape painting merging classical harmony with conceptual depth.

Primarily self-taught, Čertanc creates landscapes that transcend physical scenery, focusing instead on emotion, memory, silence, and the unseen presence within nature. Through luminous light, rich tonal contrasts, and ethereal color palettes, his works evoke a dreamlike balance between reality and imagination.

His paintings have been exhibited internationally, including at Carrousel du Louvre in Paris and MECC Maastricht in the Netherlands, while receiving multiple recognitions across Europe and the United States, including first-place awards, finalist positions, and honorable mentions from institutions in France, the United Kingdom, the USA, and Slovenia.

Under the name ArtbySakidePaco, he shares his artistic journey and works with an international online community through visual storytelling and atmospheric imagery.

Čertanc’s works are held in private collections worldwide.
