"Motives from the suburbs", "Motivi iz okolice"


A series of 30 gouache paintings I did at the end of 2016. on the base of my detour of the surrounding area of Zagreb/Croatia. Each painting features one of the suburbian villages which lay on the border of the city. The whole series is painted in a style inspired by Croatian naive artists and naive and outsider art in general.

The series is published in a book, which you can order here:

    Amazing. My grandparents lived in Pleso and I spent some time as a kid in Velika Gorica. I was really moved by your paintings, you've managed to capture the atmosphere perfectly. Cheers!
