Dijana Šehić Engelmann graduated from the Academy of Fine Arts in Split, specializing in sculpture. Even as a student, she gained recognition through a series of intriguing works, including Nepoznati netko (Unknown Someone) Gallery of Fine Arts 2014, as part of the Fast Forward series, Igra (The Game), Golden Gate 2015, as part of the Premiere series and Laboratorij toka svijesti (The Laboratory of Stream of Consciousness) , Kocka Club Gallery 2016. After a several-year hiatus, she returned to the art scene with her project/installation Forms (2023).

Although she studied sculpture, her works adopt an intermedial approach, often defined as multimedia installations or artistic actions with a performative dimension. In her projects, she frequently focuses on analyzing and interpreting various social relations and interpersonal dynamics in contemporary society (Unknown Someone, 2014; Forms, 2023). Additionally, her work explores the creative process itself and seeks to challenge and blur the boundaries between artist/author and audience (The Game, 2015; The Laboratory of Stream of Consciousness, 2016).

She currently lives and works in Luxembourg.
