How U2 Saved the Balkans


150x170cm
Oil on canvas
2017.

This painting is celebrating the 20th anniversary of the U2 concert in Sarajevo. The concert symbolically ended the Balkan wars and started a new era of pop culture and love!

The painting was comissioned and done in collaboration with Marko Mlinarić, my designer friend, from Design agency BETON.

An interesteing article about the painting, by great Croatian/Bosnian writer Miljenko Jergović
