Today we discover colorful parts of our past adventures.
I discovered art after my parents died. The art of Chinese calligraphy gave me tranquility I desperately needed, but also introduced me into the world of brushes, paper materials and different hand movements. After a while I added colors and shapes which led me into the art of watercolor. One of my first watercolors presents tulips in a vase made of Chinese letters meaning She. Today I do not add Chinese letters into my art but I constantly move my hand in the way I used to write calligraphy

Saline worker of Pag
In the town of Pag there is a new old place to visit.
In front of the old salt storage you can admire the beautiful statue presenting a saline worker.
The author Tomislav Kršnjavi cast it in the Ujević foundry in Zagreb.
Darka walks with Marko
Despite the fact that I work along the whole Croatian coast and always ready to show you all the beauties of my country, this year I will spend most of the time in Split, as it is all about my thematic tour, that I have dedicated to our Croatian poet Marko Marulić.
I am happy to walk with you in Split!

Intangible heritage of UNESCO - The Lace of Pag
UNESCO intangible heritage - The Pag Lace
My husband’s aunt gave him this beautiful lace when he was a young boy. He treasured it so well as he knew that it will become one day a part of the world heritage.
I am happy to present it here, but much more about the art of making that unique lace you can find in our Croatian museums and in the town of Pag where it is still produced.
