Go's friend from gimnazija, a couple of years younger than her. Took some years to get into the school of art, but once he got in, he was rather good. Last time he was in, he was just about finishing the masters' and going for a PhD (which sort of boggles the mind - a PhD in painting?). He was one of Lena's mentors when we returned, got her into that introductory course and helped at few other important moments.
His dad worked somewhere in the city hall, perhaps a neighboring inspection. His mother died in 2012, widespread cancer.
