About the Item

In this painting, I sought to capture the serene and timeless beauty of Motovun, a hilltop town nestled in the heart of Istria, Croatia. With a palette of soft blues and earthy tones, I used oil paints to blend impressionism with realism, evoking Motovun's historical charm and the lush, verdant surroundings that envelop it. This artwork is an ode to the quiet grandeur of this Croatian gem, inviting the viewer to feel the tranquility and age-old elegance that radiates from its ancient walls and cobblestone paths. Motovun is a village in central Istria, Croatia. In ancient times, both celts and Illyrians built their fortresses at the location of present day Motovun. The name of village is also of celtic origin, derived from word Montona, that means " a town in the hills". The population of the village itself is 531, with a total of 983 residents in the municipality (2001); 192 of the residents speak Italian as their mother language. The Parenzana was a narrow gauge railroad that ran from Trieste to Poreč/Parenzo between 1902–1935, passed valley below the town. Exhibition: 2017 The exhibition "Enchanted by the Sea".

Artworks are in private collections all over the world: USA, Germany, Switzerland, Austria, Netherlands, France, Spain, South Africa, Egypt, Australia, Japan, Singapore. The main focus of my painting is underwater world. I draw my inspiration during scuba diving. Underwater I have learnt not only about the many life-forms, but the shapes and colors of everything in that realm continue to blow my mind. I feel like I am in another dimension. I am an artist one of the new pioneers in the growing field of underwater painting and Andre Laban follower. I developed my own special course of underwater painting and approved it in PADI. By teaching people scuba diving and underwater painting I open a new world of inspiration, artistry and creativity. I help people to experience artistic way to live. Scuba Divers witness the changes happening in the ocean – and can be among the first to raise the awareness of others to these growing problems. Nowadays most scuba divers have underwater cameras, to record the treasures and tragedies happening underwater – in this case evidence of the destruction of marine life. Art too, is a very effective tool and medium to communicate these messages. My art is my language. I would like to make people more human, more spiritual, to find their soul, love and kindness through the reunion with nature. So I am very happy to have opportunity to attract people by my art to the nature, in diver to find an art person and show a new reality – underwater world to art person. I believe that with my paintings more people will fall in love with the world of the sea, and become involved in the protection of our oceans for future generations to enjoy and wonder at. That is what I wish to come of these works and this experience in my life. That is what I wish to come of these works and this experience in my life.
