I
have dedicated myself to the art of naïve glass painting
since 1974. My interest arose partly through the close
contact to some important glass painters, most of them originating
from my hometown. After emigrating to Germany, I started
combining motives of my native Croatia with the ones of my
chosen new home. A very interesting symbiosis developed;
in the course of the following years the giddy-paced living
styles of our society occupied me more intensively, as well
as the examination of landscape and architecture. This
lead me to the question, "Is landscape a prisoner of
architecture?" From then on I devoted myself to
the surrealistic-fantastic articulation of this theme. I
develope an individual frame for each painting, acting as
a sculpture by itself and a harmonious composition with the
artwork. |
