slikar
Slikar is a term used in several South Slavic languages, most notably Slovenian, Croatian, Serbian, and Bosnian, to denote a painter—an artist who creates pictures or paintings with media such as oil, acrylic, watercolor, or ink. The word can refer to a professional artist in the fine arts as well as to someone who paints, for example, a house or a building, depending on context. In many languages the masculine form is slikar, while feminine forms such as slikarica or slikarka are used for women.
