RAIKO Ivanishevich studied sculpture at University of Arts, Novi Sad, Serbia 2003-2006 and he completed his studies at St. John's University, Minnesota, USA, where he graduated with a B.A. degree. He majored in Art, with a concentration on 2D and 3D art, and minored in Asian Studies with emphasis in Japanese language. His art experience is broad and through his university he explored sculpture, ceramics, painting, printmaking, traditional and digital photography, and computer art. 
Now he is based somewhere in the World working on freelance basis.    

                                                                                                                                                
During his high school years he discovered street art and spray cans as a medium. Soon, he started to tag all over. In that time he met street artists from Rijeka/Croatia, who had a huge impact on him. They were tagging walls as A92 Crew ('A' stands for 'anti' and '92' is the number of police in Croatia) and to this day Raiko  tags 'A92 Crew' around the world. 

In Serbia, while attending University of Arts, he met V.Manovski. They started an art project named Die Fa8rikKun5tHalle! (FKH)- the name derives from German, literally translating as 'The Factory-Art-Hall! Both, Raiko and Manovski had the idea to start an art factory, so they rented a house in Novi Sad to realize their ideas. 
Shortly, their house became the place that gathered street artists, digital artists, musicians, and DJs. 
They began to produce hand and belt bags using recycled fabrics and applying designs and stencils on their products. At their place DJs had parties and visual artists held exhibitions. 
FKH was active for three years, and after that Raiko moved to the USA and Manovski moved to Finland. The vision behind FKH still exists; Raiko and Manovski still negotiate where to establish a new FKH studio.
