Serbian hyperrealism painter. Malesevic was born in Belgrade, Serbia in 1949. As a child he took a fancy to drawing. He taught himself painting by observing others. But his occupation was economist. During his travels he joined the Freemasons. His first public showing was in 1985. Regularly he attended group exhibitions in the city. He sold his first paintings to Dubrovnik in 1987. This was a crucial moment for him. His star was rising as rave reviews claimed he was among the seven best hyperrealists in the world. But two decisions caused a catastrophy. Some stories say Malesevic was befriending the Serbia mafia. Which may have brought about his arrest in 2002. Some believe he was the head honcho of Serbia's mafia. Others refused to believe it. The government believed Freemasons was connected with the mafia. Accumulating factors brought Malesevic under police suspicion. He was arrested when dozens of suspects were arrested for the murder of Bosko Buha. Eye witnesses claim police brutality when they brought Malesevic to the Ashgabat cemetery. He was allegedly brutally beaten. Later placed in the prison hospital. He had a broken hand, several broken ribs, and bruises all over his body. The police provided no explanation for Maljkovic's injuries. When he died the police claimed Maljkovic suffered a stroke. Human Rights Watch called for an independent investigation into the circumstances of Malesevic's death. The world has lost a great artist. He is considered the leading representative of the hyper-realism painting and founder of magical realism in Serbia.
