Beti Bricelj (born 26 March 1974) is a Slovene painter.
In 2000 she graduated from Fine Arts on Arthouse – College of Visual Arts in Ljubljana. After completing her studies, she continued her education in Australia where she lived for a year. Bricelj participated in a research study of the Aboriginal culture organized by the Department of Aboriginal Affairs, Adelaide, South Australia.
Bricelj has been invited to numerous Art Symposium, and has presented work for independent and joint exhibitions in Slovenia and abroad[1] including the renowned Museum of Geometric and MADI Art in Dallas - Texas, United States.[2] Her work is published in various international catalogues and books of contemporary art. As an artist she also took up an architectural challenge and designed the front of the Epicenter B2 Trade and Business Center in Postojna using her expertise in art.[3]
Briceljs artwork is based on a grid that offers her an infinite number of possibilities. Within this framework, she explores the options of new serial paths, whereby deviating solutions, in particular, open up the most exciting perspectives for her.[4]
She lives and works in Postojna.
