Amicale

These paintings belong to several artistic styles and techniques, primarily influenced by the following movements:

Expressionism:

These works emphasize emotion and atmosphere, often at the expense of precise realism. Intense colors, sharp contrasts, and sometimes distorted forms convey a personal and emotional vision of the world. This is particularly evident in the textures and vibrant tones.

Impressionism and Post-Impressionism:

The architectural landscapes, such as the paintings of the Velagić houses in Blagaj, reflect an impressionistic approach, where visible brushstrokes and the interplay of light and color play a central role.

Lyrical Abstraction:

Works like Šapat senki and Balkanska rapsodija show abstract influences, where shapes and colors evoke ideas or emotions rather than realistic representation. This style blends abstraction and symbolism to create poetic compositions.

Symbolism:

Especially in Balkanska rapsodija, the use of architectural elements and motifs suggests a cultural or historical depth, with meanings that appear to go beyond the visual.

Techniques and Mediums Used:

Acrylic on canvas: Allows for vibrant colors and quick layering, contributing to the visual and emotional dynamism.

Oil on canvas: Favors subtle gradients and textural depth, ideal for more realistic or impressionistic scenes.

In summary, these works combine several approaches, with a predominance of modern and contemporary styles, focused on personal expression and evocative atmospheres.
