The commission states in the explanation: “In the study period 2020/21. Emma Gindorf (Department of Painting) and Tarik Golubić (Department of Graphics) are the winners of the "Alija Kučukalić" award. From the selected exhibition of students from all departments of the Academy of Fine Arts, the works of E. Gindorf and T. Golubić stand out for their interpretive quality. Graphic sheets made in the technique of intaglio printing, ie large canvases created in the Ebru technique, were created as a product of longer research processes which were especially difficult in the departments of selected students due to the pandemic. However, the students showed maturity in approach and work continuity, which is clearly seen in their graphic / painting expression. Apart from the nominees, students Nejra Gorančić (Department of Product Design), Sergej Mačar (Department of Graphic Design) and Nađa Husejinović (Department of Graphics) are praised for their work.
