Biography: The daughter of Petar Tomičić, a septemvir judge, she married the rich wine merchant Hinko Schwarz of Zagreb and Vienna, who subsequently changed his surname to Slavić. The family claimed that she had acquired her basic artistic education in Vienna. In Zagreb she continued her further education in the private school of Robert Auer, as her name was on the list of the attendants who paid the school fees regularly. After completing the course in this popular art school, Jelka Schwarz Slavić joined the private school of Rudolf Marčić in Praška Street. Her enviable income enabled her to travel widely, which is evidenced in her oil paintings with motifs ranging from the sea to the Alps. Her residence was a villa at 64, Jurjevska Street (near Cmrok park), where she intensively socialised with her neighbour, the admirable water colour painter Štefana Klaić Hribar, with whom she exchanged paintings. She had no children, and her heirs claimed that she "died from colours", i.e. from poisoning when carelessly handling white-lead.
