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".
