Matea Radic is a multidisciplinary artist born in Sarajevo and based in Winnipeg, Canada. She fled her birthplace as a child in the summer of 1992 and has been interested in the concept of home and attachment ever since, infusing her art with a signature mix of nostalgia and dark humour. Radic has explored a variety of mediums, including illustration, painting, and sculpture, and has animated music videos, notably a posthumous clip for Jim Croce. The animated short Paradaïz (2025), produced by the NFB, is her first film.
