His maternal grandfather was a member of Hrvatska Seljačka Stranka, HSS [Croatian Peasant Party] and at the end of the Second World War, after the Tito - Šubašić Agreement, was involved in politics at a local level. After the establishment of the multiparty system, Davor Lucijanović first joined Hrvatska Socijalno Liberalna Stranka, HSLS [Croatian Social Liberal Party], and later Hrvatska Demokratska Zajednica, HDZ [Croatian Democratic Union] but he quickly became disillusioned and left the party in 1992. He was in Dubrovnik during the war and the siege of the town; he spent some time on the battlefield, too. Today he lives in Dubrovnik, he teaches at the Art High School and he paints.
