Curatorial Statement

Andrija Schossberger was born in Novi Sad on August 28, 1939—just four days before the outbreak of World War II, which irrevocably shattered the world into which he arrived. In April 1944, at barely four years of age, he was deported to the German Nazi concentration and extermination camp Auschwitz-Birkenau and murdered in a gas chamber upon arrival.

This portrait transcends a mere reproduction of an archival photograph; it is an artistic act of restitution—restoring individual dignity, identity, and visual presence. Through the rich texture of oil paint, nuanced chiaroscuro, and a poignant focus on the child’s gaze, the work confronts the viewer with pure innocence set against the abyss of the Shoah.

This painting is strictly non-commercial and conceived as a memorial artwork. It forms an integral part of an institutional exhibition cycle dedicated to the memory of the youngest victims, curated exclusively for memorial sites, museums, and historical heritage venues.
