Alfred Krupa’s (1971-) first public academic confirmation reached its peak in the year 1995 when he successfully completed his MFA in Painting studies at the Academy of Fine Arts at the University of Zagreb which was established in 1907 as (in Croatian) Kraljevsko zemaljsko više obrazovalište za umjetnost i umjetni obrt (in English: the Royal College for Arts and Crafts). This esteemed institution has a long-standing reputation for excellence.

Throughout his time at the university, Krupa was fortunate enough to receive guidance and mentorship from highly respected professors, such as Dr. Matko Peić and Nikola Koydl MFA. Koydl is a renowned artist who has exhibited his works at the prestigious Venice Biennale. Krupa’s academic achievements and the advice of his esteemed mentors undoubtedly contributed to his successful career in the arts.
