Petrija Pajić is a young artist from Sydney, who has an impressive list of murals and works behind her. Her most recent endeavour, a mural honouring famous Serbians outside the Bonnyrigg White Eagles Football Club in Sydney's western suburbs, pays homage to the idols and mentors of the communities' younger generations.
Petrija Pajić's mum handed her a paintbrush when she was just a small child. Since then, she's gone through hundreds of brushes and litres of paint. Her most recent works include two murals this year, one at the Serbian Festival in Sydney, and one the Bonnyrigg Sports Club football stadium.
Petrija says that the mentors and idols of the young Serbian community are changing. She's observed a shift toward young, new sporting icons like Nikola Jokić and Ivana Španović, but also a renewed interested in world famous scientist, Nikola Tesla.
Petrija hopes that her mural will inspire generations young and old in the Serbian community to adapt a can-do attitude toward life.Share
