Bio

Handi Behrič (1960), a Master of Fine Arts, printmaker, and visual communications designer, is widely regarded as a pioneer of Slovenian digital art. His masterful body of work seamlessly blends classic fine art mediums with cutting-edge technologies, including AI, generative art, and WebAR. After graduating with the highest honors (summa cum laude) in 2017, he became an Assistant Professor teaching contemporary art practice. Behrič exhibits globally—from Vienna and Paris to Dubai and Canada—as well as at acclaimed festivals like Ars Electronica. Guided by a strong humanistic vision, his work seeks to uncover spiritual depth within the digital era and protect human creativity from becoming standardly uniform under algorithms.

Handi Behrič (1960), magister likovne umetnosti, grafik in oblikovalec vizualnih komunikacij, velja za pionirja slovenske digitalne umetnosti. V svojem opusu vrhunsko prepleta klasične likovne medije z najsodobnejšimi tehnologijami, vključno z umetno inteligenco (AI), generativno umetnostjo in razširjeno resničnostjo (WebAR). Leta 2017 je magistriral z najvišjim priznanjem summa cum laude, danes pa kot docent predava sodobno likovno prakso. Svoja dela razstavlja po vsem svetu – od Dunaja in Pariza do Dubaja in Kanada – ter na festivalih, kot je Ars Electronica. Njegovo ustvarjanje vodi močna humanistična nota, saj želi v digitalni dobi najti duhovno substanco ter zaščititi svobodo človeške ustvarjalnosti pred ukleščenostjo v algoritme.
