“Adriatic Impressions”

shot on 35mm

Through my photography of Croatia, I aim to capture more than just the picturesque landscapes and architectural spectacles. Each image tells a story woven from the threads of my family’s heritage, connecting me deeply to this vibrant land where my grandparents once called home.

 Spending every summer in Croatia, I am immersed in a culture rich with history and beauty. This connection to my root’s fuels my artistic vision, inspiring me to document not only the stunning vistas but also the warmth and kindness of its people. Their generosity and resilience, shaped by a tumultuous past, shine through in every photograph, adding layers of depth and emotion to my art.

My grandparents’ journey to America, seeking new opportunities and forging a new life, resonates profoundly with me as I explore and photograph Croatia. Their legacy of courage and perseverance echoes in the stories I hear and the faces I capture through my lens.

 In my photographs, I strive to convey the essence of Croatia—the sun-drenched coastlines, the timeless architecture, and the spirited celebrations of life. Each image is a testament to my heritage, a visual narrative that celebrates the beauty, resilience and enduring spirit of a place that will always hold a piece of my heart.
