Born in Lincoln, Buenos Aires, Argentina. Cetkovic attended during her childhood and adolescence art classes at the lately international "Ateneo de la Juventud", founded and directed by Professor Enrique A. Urcola, in that rural town, which became the first "Children´s Museum of Art" in Argentina. Later, she moved to San Isidro, a suburb in Bs As, where she began taking art classes with many well known artists, and she worked for five years under the direction of the famous Kenneth Kemble.
She travelled through Europe, the U.S.A., some South American countries, Asia, and during the last two years Mexico, where she came in touch with artists and the last visual tendencies. She participated in lectures and seminars in Bs. As., as well as in many other important capitals in the world.
Her work was published in the Latin American yearbook of Fine Arts, editions 1981 and 1983, and in the Documenta´87. She participated in events and cultural meetings in different radios and T.V. programmes, where visual tendencies were essential subjects.
She took part in many National, Provincial and Municipal exhibitions, being her works selected by very well known artists and art critics. Lately, she was selected for the CD-ROM "Catalogue of Painters from Mercosur" edited by O.E.A.
Her solo shows have deserved the praise of criticism, specially from "La Nación", "The Bs. As. Herald", and Mexican and American newspapers. Private and foreign collections have her works.
