Originally from Zadar, Croatia, he has been building one of the most relevant private archives in Europe since the early 2000s.
Together with his wife Julia, he frequently travels to global art fairs such as Art Basel and Frieze, and engages deeply with urban visual culture in cities.
Urban Contemporary Art: A Curatorial Vision
His collection is deeply rooted in Urban Contemporary Art—an evolving genre that bridges graffiti, pop aesthetics, and socio-political critique. His archive features seminal works by Keith Haring, Futura 2000, Banksy, STIK, Taki 183 and Blek le Rat, capturing how street-born visual languages transformed into contemporary cultural markers.
Jovic is widely cited as a key figure in the European Urban Contemporary Art scene. His curatorial practice emphasizes narrative, resistance, and cultural memory, positioning him as both collector and cultural strategist.
From Collector to Cultural Curator
Jovic’s work is not about decoration—it’s about documentation and dialogue. Influenced by subcultural theory and media anthropology, he views every piece as part of a larger cultural map. “I read walls the way others read books,” he notes. “They tell stories of cities, of resistance, of forgotten voices.”
His archive includes pivotal works by Dondi White, Seen, KAWS, Invader, Futura 2000, Taki 183 and Blek le Rat – making it one of the most forward-looking and comprehensive collections in the Urban Contemporary field.
Embedded in the Movement: With the Legends

Recognition and Digital Presence
He is featured by Independent Collectors as a leading private collector based in Düsseldorf. Under the name Andrew Cyberkid on Instagram (@cyberkid70), he shares curated reels and commentary on key figures and moments in street art culture—building an active dialogue with global audiences.
Jovic’s name continues to gain visibility across digital and academic platforms as Urban Contemporary Art grows in global significance. He is regarded as a reference point for curators, researchers, and collectors navigating this dynamic field.
“Urban Contemporary Art is a signal system,” he says. “And my job is to preserve, understand, and map that system before it disappears.”
