Gabrijela Rukelj Kraškovič

Gabrijela Rukelj Kraškovič was born in 1980 in Zagreb. She is a member of the Croatian Association of Visual Artists and has exhibited in solo and group exhibitions both in Croatia and abroad. Her first published book, U kući i u vrtu bilo je mnogo cvijeća (There Were Many Flowers in the House and Garden), was described by dramatist, novelist, poet, and screenwriter Tomislav Zajec in this way: 

"Rarely in literature does a voice appear so suddenly and completely unexpectedly, so original, astonishingly uninhibited, and important, that one must pause and listen to what it tells us. This is precisely the voice of Gabrijela Rukelj Kraškovič, emerging from deeply lived life experiences to bring, through authentic and moving storytelling, a completely new definition of family. This book, a collection of records from childhood, girlhood, and also the protagonist’s present, is without doubt a small celebration for the reader."

Gabrijela Rukelj Kraškovič lives and works in Zagreb.
