- says (Joseph Zbukvic) - a brilliant Croatian watercolorist of our time, whose work is not left without attention in any country. As if by magic, he paints soothing landscapes in gentle colors, as well as situational scenes from people's lives.
His impressive achievements and tremendous success are due to the fact that he manages to turn everyday life into a visual poetic language that conquers the hearts of both connoisseurs of this style and direction, and those who do not understand anything about it. Indeed, often in order to understand something, it is enough to feel with your soul and heart, and not have unlimited knowledge, which is unlikely to be able to convey all the feelings that an ordinary person experiences, looking at a serene landscape or at cars scurrying back and forth along rainy streets of cities and countries.
With his unrivaled drawing talent and outstanding art skills, he excels in any technique. However, it was his passion for watercolor that led him to become a true guru of this technique. In addition to soulful rural and marine motifs, he paints the most powerful urban scenes with majestic architecture, dynamics and vibrant life. Ships moor in a quiet harbor, and fishermen in boats sway thoughtfully on the soft waves, cows peacefully chew on juicy grass, and multi-colored crowns, rustling with leaves falling from trees, notify that autumn is outside with rains and umbrellas, dim car headlights and the collars of the coat turned up.
In addition to all this, he is the author of the unique book "Mastering the Atmosphere in Watercolor", where he tells in detail, step by step, how to paint pictures correctly with the help of a "capricious young lady" who knows exactly how to behave in one way or another. situations. Joseph makes subtle comparative parallels between paint, tea, coffee, milk, and cream. Explaining this by the fact that this is the only way to understand what consistency should be chosen to create a picture. Light and careless with soft, smooth without pressure strokes, or vice versa, thick and juicy, with pronounced lines and strokes, slightly sticky and voluminous in appearance, which you so want to touch with your finger.
Juan Mira remembers this world as simple and kind, as it was in his childhood. In, the artist is nostalgic about the old days, while not forgetting about the present.
