"After my grandfather's death in 1989 (painter and inventor Alfred Krupa / 1915-1989), I went to Sarajevo, in the Reserve Officers' School. I painted it for a year only at night with a lamp in order to enroll in the Academy of Fine Arts in Zagreb in 1991. But, as there was wartime and complex circumstances, the enrollment to the Academy was also quite dramatic.-My head was sentenced to death in absentia as I was the second junior JNA officer in Slovenia who crossed over to the side of the defenders of Slovenia, at the beginning of the war aggression against Slovenia. I came home I spent a few months in Karlovac, so I could not go to the summer exam in the summer, but only in the autumn when it was organized for me and two other colleagues. I was admitted to the academy, a war started and I, as a volunteer, joined the defense of the homeland. I was the only participant of the Homeland War at the 1st year of the painting study at the Academy of Fine Arts in Zagreb."
