ABOUT THE ARTWORK

'Neighborhood' oil on canvas, 60cm x 60cm (23.6 x 23.6 inch) - see the video of the artwork here Inspired by my childhood dreams and further encouraged with my lifelong love for nature and animals, I wanted to create worlds where animals exist as equal characters, as narrators of a modern fairy tale, who share with us the same environment, but also guide us through these remote, but at the same time beautiful landscapes. This is their story where they take us on a journey to distant but familiar places in some faraway lands, presented in a dreamlike, surreal way. In calming sceneries these animals with personified qualities act as strange but gentle giant characters. With their presence they bring harmony and raise environmental awareness, they merge urbanization with serene nature, but also open a door to the universe which we cannot see in reality and make us think twice about the way we observe world around us.

Inspired by nature, societal observation, and the world of fantasy, Croatian artist Nikolina Petolas opens the door to secret places where memories, desires, and the subconscious converge, existing somewhere between real life and imagination. Through allegory as a means of expression, she discovers a parallel world woven into dreams and disrupts our perception of reality. In her symbolic visual stories, Nikolina creates a deep narrative with profound compositions in her unique style by blending contemporary digital techniques with photography or through traditional painting. Nikolina's artistic vision has attracted the attention of high-profile clients such as Ferragamo and Marriott, with whom she has worked closely. Her signature Blue Pear series, developed over the past 12 years, has earned global recognition and numerous international art awards. Her work has been acknowledged by prestigious institutions, including the IPA Photography Awards, LICC, Beautiful Bizarre, FAPA, and notably, the Kunsthistorisches Museum in Vienna, to name just a few. Her impressive portfolio has been widely acclaimed and exhibited in galleries and museums across Europe, the United States, and Asia.
