I started this painting by applying gold leaf to a few places on the bare canvas.  As the painting progressed, with several layers of oil paint and metallic pigment, it began to resemble the cosmos.  I am fond of the Hubble telescope imagery and I guess some of that came to mind as I was painting. The mystery of the universe has always intrigued me, I hope it will do the same to the viewer. It comes with a black shadowbox frame ready to hang.

I have two bodies of work. One as described below is abstract landscape, the other impressionist landscape, oil on canvas. They are both available on this site. My paintings have a sense of stillness and have been described as dreamlike. The art evolves and becomes more complex with every new experience. Abstract landscape description: My inspiration comes about from the process. Several paintings in different stages of completion are worked on at the same time. I begin by letting paint flow on the canvas as rivulets of color drip freely forming suggestions of images. With these marks I envision landscapes and proceed to bring out whatever the canvas suggests: perhaps a pond, grove of trees or mountains. Metallic pigments mixed with solvents are alternately layered with thin layers of oil paint, building up several layers per painting. This method gives the art a reflective glow. Texture and corrosive elements also result from this painting method and are intentional. This method of painting is a result of experimentation with oil paints, solvents and metallic pigments that began in 1999. It is a culmination of having worked with different media like pastel, watercolor and colored pencil over the last 30 years. Some of the paintings are also embellished with colored pencil and cold wax. Photo reference is sometimes used as a springboard for my images. At other times the imagery comes from my imagination. I spend a lot of time photographing the landscape when not in the studio. I was born in Croatia and emigrated to Chicago in the 1950's. Southern California has been my home since 1986. I started exhibiting in 1990 and currently maintain a studio in Orange county California. Website:
