Painting Hope in the Dark by Petras Ivica | Painting Figurative Landscapes Oil

Inspired for years by the techniques of drawing, throughout his school years Ivica assiduously pursued illustration and caricature techniques. As from secondary school, he started to publish his sketches in various Croatian journals and magazines and thus he began his career as an illustrator. In 1997 Ivica took the decision to devote soul and body to painting and since then he devotes all his energy to the development of his pictorial production. This professional move was to push him to participate in a number of creative sojourns and enable him to cooperate with various Zagreb galleries, who supported him in his work. Then he registered at Superior Visual Arts School in Ljubljana in Slovenia with the aim of increasing his knowledge and perfecting his technique. Ivica graduated from the painting faculty - his speciality was Impressionism - in 2014, and two years later he became a member of the Croatian Association of Fine Arts.
