Is There a Shark?

Artist statement:

This is a playful abstract work that explores the hidden energy of the Adriatic Sea. The composition is built through dynamic, lively shapes and gestural strokes, creating a sense of movement and spontaneity.

A special and striking element of the piece is the integration of real, dried shark skin from the Adriatic, which brings a tactile, organic dimension to the painting. This material literally brings the sea into the artistic space, grounding the abstract forms in the reality of the marine world.

The work invites the viewer to experience the ocean not only visually, but also sensorially, through texture and material. It celebrates the wildness of nature while maintaining a vibrant, almost playful atmosphere.
