Sketch preview of my upcomming exhibition

On Monday 30.09.2013. I will have an exhibition opening in the gallery Greta, Zagreb. There I will present only one painting on which I have been working on the last 6 months, so here is a preview from my sketchbook....

Tower of Hell in Medika

Here is a recent wall painting we did on the entrance to our studio. This painting I did with the help of my friend Monika Meglić, she did the lower half, I did the upper.... Enjoy!

Tea and Leia

Another commissioned portrait. These two girls where really nice and it was a pleasure to paint them. This time I wanted to put as much effort in the background as in the figures. So I put them on some kind of Japanese couch with a Japanese tapestry in the background...

Before Party After Party

Here is my new street painting I did in Trešnjevka these days, took me 2 days. It is part of a project entitled "Face Poster", where each of 10 artists gained one part of Zagreb for making a self-portrait which would stand in contrast to the usual "beautiful" faces on posters. It was organized by the Center of Culture Trešnjevka and MUU (thanks). 

Women laughing naked in the bed

This painting took me just 3-4 hours to finish. The main point here is about composition and atmosphere. I wanted to get some 80's porn atmosphere. I really had pleasure painting it

Gossip

I had my three good friends, Diana, Nikolina and Nikolina come to my place to pose for this painting. I told them to talk for 20 minutes and asked them to keep the intensity of the talk very high. By the time they where laughing and talking about their stuff I took pictures. Out of this photos came out this painting.
