Patricia Karen Gagic has dedicated her career to mastering the Matisse palette and technique under mentorship by Maestro Dragan Dragic in France.
Patricia Gagic (b. 1953, Montreal, Canada) is an internationally renowned contemporary artist whose work bridges the past, present, and future through the delicate interplay of form and intention. Her art is driven by a profound intellectual and spiritual pursuit of complexity, aiming to transcend conventional, logic-based perspectives. Fascinated by the infinite possibilities of form, Patricia engages with her materials in a search for what is luminous to the eye and deeply meaningful to the heart. Each piece she creates is not merely an object, but a portal to something greater, challenging viewers to look beyond the ordinary and explore deeper truths.
With a distinguished international career, Patricia has exhibited at prestigious art fairs across Geneva, Berlin, London, Zurich, Paris, and Seoul, showcasing her unique vision. Her solo mentorship with renowned artist Dragan Dragic in Sovoillan, France, in 1999 helped refine her artistic approach and deepened her commitment to the transformative power of art.
Her work has earned her numerous accolades, including the Arts Excellence Award from the Canadian Civil Liberties Association for her courage and commitment to human rights and freedom. As an award-winning author and certified meditation specialist, Patricia’s diverse expertise spans the realms of art, mindfulness, and social advocacy. She continues to deepen her studies in transformative mindfulness at Yale University, Princeton, and the University of Alberta.
Patricia has been recognized for her leadership and dedication with prestigious nominations such as Status of Women’s Woman of the Year and the YMCA Peace Medal. A member of the International Women’s Forum (IWF) Toronto Chapter, Patricia’s contributions extend far beyond the canvas, positioning her as a vital figure in both the art world and global discussions on human rights and social change.

“The magic of Gagic’s work or the technical serenity of her works is based on bringing together an interchange and/or the balance and cooperation between a diverse number of techniques. They involve the technique of mass-tint-tone colour constructions that utilize under painting to facilitate the effects of warm and cool tone differentiation in relation to the modifying effects of thinned out, semi-transparent over painting……demonstrating a flexibility of technique through form and colour theme…” Ron Martin, 2000
