Bio

Dejana Nezic

was born in Serbia in 1994 withouth upper limbs, yet her world was never defined by limitations.

From early childhood, she learned to use her feet for everything — from dressing up, eating to creating art.

At just six years old she began painting, and by nine she became the youngest member of the VDMFK Association of Mouth and Foot Painting Artists.

Guided by private mentors, she nurtured her gift through years of study, graduating from the Academy of Fine Arts as a professional painter. Every brushstroke tells her story — a story of courage, beauty, and the unwavering belief that dreams have no limits.

Defying every prejudice others tried to place upon her, Dejana proved through willpower, persistence, and hard work that she can — and will — achieve anything she sets her mind to. She became both World and European Champion in para-taekwondo before gracefully closing her sports chapter when she embraced her greatest role — becoming a mother. Today, she drives, takes care of all the everyday duties of motherhood, and continues to devote herself to her first and greatest love — painting, which remains her life’s profession. Her journey inspires over 4 million people worldwide who follow her story across social media.
