In the summer of 1990, Poskovic left Yugoslavia to study in Norway on a Norwegian Government scholarship where he enrolled in Norwegian language immersion program at Nordmøre Folkehøgskolein Surnadal and studied drawing and painting. 
  From Norway, Poskovic moved to the United States in 1991 to study with Harvey Breverman and Adele Henderson at the University at Buffalo, State University of New York, where he graduated in 1993 with a Master of Fine Arts a degree in art practice.

  In 2015, Poskovic was awarded a Fulbright Program FFulbright U.S. Senior Scholar Grant for 2015-2016 academic year to Jan Matejko Academy of Fine Arts in Kraków, Poland, to research the formative years of the Kraków International Triennial and the role it played in the democratization of art and education in Poland and beyond.Since 2003, Poskovic has actively traveled to China and Japan to research wood-block printing, painting, and papermaking.

Rockefeller Foundation, the Pollock-Krasner Foundation, the Norwegian Government, the Camargo Foundation, the Flemish Ministry of Culture, the New York State Council on the Arts, the Macdowell, the Bellagio Center and the Art Matters Foundation, among others.
