says the Croatian artist. “Today, along with
the advancement of modern tourism that is
present in my region, many things still remain
the same as in those ancient times. I believe
that certain aspects of the modern, developed
world have brought complications to our daily
life in which we have lost part of our own
freedom and peace. The simplicity of life in the
Mediterranean can show us how to find this
peace again, something that we need today
maybe more than ever before. It is peace with
ourselves, with the people we live with but also
with the nature that surrounds us.”
Mihanovic paints landscapes that share
these stories of peace and harmony through
quiet depictions of where the land meets the
sea. There are fisherman floating off in the
water and boats docked at stone-paved harbors.
“There are two basic themes that inspire me
in the area where I live,” Mihanovic elaborates.
