“Sven Harambašić is a Croatian artist and art director working in photography and mixed-media. Sven started as a one-man-band behind VERY RARE, the first real streetwear in Croatia, with focus on limited, rare and hand-edited pieces. Over time, his works kept the same DIY approach but shapeshifted into different realms, formats and mediums such as ‘zines, art installations and music videos, leading to collaborations with Amenra, Lingua Ignota, Boy Harsher, Coby, The Soft Moon, Moor Mother, Alex Zhang Hungtai and more, while also working as an artistic director for Kenyan experimental metal band DUMA.

Sven’s work has been exhibited in Tokyo, Zagreb and Ljubljana. SSENSE magazine described it as an intoxicating exquisite corpse – hauntingly minimal, laced with folklore, ancient marble, and psychosomatics, Nasty Magazine interpreted his art as a strong communication device that delves into the intersection of reality and contemporary media culture, challenging our perceptions, initiating dialogues and fostering critical thinking, CVLT Nation applauded the way his style is maintained even through collaborations while simultaneously amplifying the emotion and energy of his collaborators, GATA Magazine described it as strikingly minimal constructs that beautifully and innovatively blend surrealism and innate darkness, while Fashion.hr applauded his skill of blurring the line between online and offline realms in an innovative way.”
