Pavlovic is a multidisciplinary artist who, in addition to drawing, painting and collage, is also involved in photography, video animation and ambient installation. The experimental aspect in Pavlovic’s work is omnipresent.

He produced the monumental drawing “Between”, in collaboration with Studio Van Rijn for the Hyatt Regency Etoile hotel in Paris, in 2018. In 2003, he and his brother, Miško Pavlovic, worked on an exhibition project dedicated to the 100th anniversary of world aviation in the Yugoslav Aviation Museum.
