Slavojka Akrapovič (Semolič) was born in the 1960s in Ljubljana. In 1987 she graduated from the Ljubljana Faculty of Architecture. Since 1994 she has been working as a freelancer on architectural, design and horticultural projects. She lives and works in Ljubljana. Since 1998 she has managed the Atelje Galerija studio and gallery at 29 Gallusovo Nabrežje in Ljubljana, where she organises exhibitions of contemporary artists from the spheres of visual art, photography and design. She has presented her work at several group exhibitions of architecture and design.

Gallery Concept

Atelje Galerija is located on the ground floor of a picturesque building on the right bank of the Ljubljanica. Its programme is focused on two related spheres of creativity: architecture/design and the visual arts – painting, sculpture and photography. Slavojka Akrapovič is trying to establish a connection between her work – the planning and designing of space, objects and gardens – and the visual arts by incorporating individual works of art by various artists in her projects. Occasionally she organises art exhibitions.
