Đuro Seder presented his works from the Collection of the Franciscan monastery Rama-Šćit in the National Gallery of BiH from December 10 2015 to January 8 2016. Although this segment of his work is mainly inspired by the religious motifs, confronted with it, we observe that separtion on the religious and nonreligious segment is irrelevant, according to Mirko Jozić. Whatever motif he chooses, Đuro Seder is always consistent in his paintings.

Đuro Seder, born in 1927 in Zagreb, is one of the most prominent Croatian contemporary artists. He presented his creative process in catalogue of the exhibition in the Gallery of the Contemporary Art in Zagreb in 1981:

“I vote for painting which is not afraid of itself : of intution, swing, unexpectedness. Not afraid of those incentives which arise from tradition. Not a slave of purism and preposterous consistency. Taking, if it whishes, without pangs of conscience, the ‘figurative motif’ as the poetical pretext of painting. For painting not ashamed of emotions. Which makes energy free. Which loves  the richness of chormatic experience. Which loves the magma of pigment… In other words: I vote for painting which signifies an affirmative and spontaneous PICTURE POSSIBILITY today, in defiance of the sceptical and defeatist PICTURE IMPOSSIBILITY!”
