Loba (Slobodan Šumić)

(Person, Yugoslavia)

Local painter. Finished high school as a locksmith, then took a few years to try to enroll in art school, which he eventually got into, graduated, and even passed a master's degree. Went to pilgrimage to Atos (Sveta gora) and accordingly prepended the Hadži- prefix to his last name. Then he got into trouble for that with his sponsors and/or gallerists in Germany, so he took the old last name again. Was married to Magi between 1984 and around 1999, then divorced and went to live in Novi. They had no children.

Didn't hear much about him afterwards, not even while we had a student of visual arts in the family. I guess he may be famous locally.
