Peruško Bogdanić was born in Stari Grad on the island of Hvar in 1949. He studied Sculpture at the Academy of Fine Arts in Zagreb, where he graduated  in 1976 in the class of Vjekoslav Rukljača.

He exhibited in over one hundred group exhibitions and numerous one-man exhibitions in Croatia (Hvar, Zagreb, Split, Slavonski Brod, Dubrovnik, Šibenik, Rovinj) and abroad (Ljubljana, Steyer, Minneapolis, Berlin, Detroit). He took part in a row of sculpture colonies and symposiums (Lokve, Sisak, Labin, Kostanjevica na Krki, Edinburgh). His sculptures adorn open spaces in many towns as also a series of private collections throughout the world.
Since 1996 he has been an associate professor at the Academy of Fine Arts in Zagreb. He lives in Zagreb.
Bogdanić has always had certain courage of being simple in expression. His sculptures in softened, geometrical lines are distinguished by utmost terseness of volume and carefully treated surface, either polished to full shine or with visible marks of treatment. The starting point of his compositions is harmony, yet with fine aberration which introduces the turbulence of imperfection. It is the echo of the deliberation of the artist, who powerfully feels the perfection of nature and its «raw» materials, being aware that a human mind will never fully fathom the secret of «the genuine state» of apparently so trivial piece of wood or bronze. The idea that even inanimate things have «soul» is as old as the mankind, and part of this magic still radiates out from archetipically simple and powerful sculptures like those by Bogdanić.
Along with the sculptural work, in last ten years Bogdanić is intensively engaged in the media of drawing. Two-dimensionality of the basis enabled him to explore the surface more freely as the reflection of the inner turbulence. Multi-layerage and fine tonal shades of colour express subtly the complexity of artist's feelings.
The sculptor Peruško Bogdanić does not belong to a specific «school» or defined «style». His works of art are distinctive, at the same time prehistoric and comtemporary, in fact – timeless.
