I was born on January, 8. 1935. I have graduated from the Art high school
in Split. Along with the 35 year long experience in design and graphics,
my main preoccupation has been painting in various techniques, and painting
different landscapes, portraits, acts and nature-morte.
The landscapes remained my favorite motif. My dalmatian landscapes show
the sea, wether by the mainland or the islands.
By painting the sea I find an open pathway to my esthetic-psychological
content. Mainly freedom and the variety of motif, and those motifs coveer
the whole Mediterranean. There I found separate motif like my personality:
olive trees, vineyards, and lavander. In the background are rocky hills
resembling a curtain through which I have stepped into the expressiveness
of the technique, in subtility which is provided by dry pastels. Gentle and
strong, like the bright red colour, yellow, blue, as the
colours of vine of dalmatian vineyards.
All this has helped me find myself in the right place and I feel I am
complete in that ambient landscape.
Seaside motifs, olive trees, make me premanently happy and youthful,
which comes through from the colours in my paintings.
