ABOUT THE ARTWORK

Can old age be regarded as a stage of life with its own unique purpose and meaning? Is there inherent value in old age, or is it simply a time of decline and waiting for death? Aristotle might argue that old age, like other stages of life, has its own inherent purpose. For Aristotle, the concept of eudaimonia, or flourishing, is central. He would suggest that old age offers an opportunity for wisdom and reflection, contributing to a well-rounded life. According to Aristotle, the elderly can achieve a form of flourishing through the cultivation of virtue and the sharing of their accumulated wisdom, thereby finding purpose and meaning even in later years.

Welcome to my webshop! I'm a 32-year-old artist from Zagreb, Croatia, with over a decade of professional experience in painting. My work has found its place in private collections across the globe, spanning all continents and nearly every country. In my art, I strive to blend my two passions—art and philosophy. Each of my paintings goes beyond mere aesthetics, aiming to evoke deep emotions or represent a philosophical question. This approach guides not only my creative process but also the way I present my work on this site. For every painting you’ll find here, I’ve highlighted a specific philosophical problem or question, offering just one of the many interpretations the artwork can inspire. I primarily work with oil on canvas, but my artistic expression isn't limited to just one medium. I also explore and utilize a wide range of other techniques, including watercolor, pastels, charcoal, graphite, gouache, acrylics, and more.
