Murter – a small, lovely town on the island of Murter in central Dalmatia (Croatia). Lots of boats, lots of water, wind, the sun, lushly blooming oleander, fragrant olive trees, rosemary, thyme, oregano, a breathtaking starry sky, friendly, helpful people and the small church on top of the mountain – that’s Murter. I love it!
In 2022, I opened a gallery for my art in an old, renovated pirate house on the edge of “staro selo” (“old village”), which can be visited during the tourist season. It is a special feeling to present digital, audiovisual art in the middle of old stone houses – with all the patina of the past centuries.
Nature is a miracle and a mystery.
Nature knows no limits and no laws when it comes to mixing colors or creating shapes.
It has always been a special challenge for every artist to depict nature using contemporary, modern instruments of creating art. The many diverse faces of nature fascinate every artist.
For me everything consists of small particles of nature and civilization. I try to “catch” the tensions between these two poles giving space in particular to the “beautiful”. The mix of technology, fiction and reality fascinates me.
My “Landscapes pseudo real” are compositions made up of particles from different landscapes on our planet. In the truest sense of the word, they are immersive and traditional at the same time: symbiotically they combine modern technology (digital creation, animation), my reality (each element is also part of a photograph that I personally took) and my fiction (I made an image out of it). Landscape images created in this way are always real in a certain sense – but also not.
