Over the past year, I've had the privilege of traveling, painting, and capturing the process along the way. This video documents my first trip of 2024, taking you behind the scenes of the mural I painted for the DUK Festival in Čačak, Serbia.
In the video, I wanted to capture the scenery of the local flea market, as the mural's subject is the famous flea market in my hometown of Zagreb.
Filming these projects has become an essential part of my process. It allows me to reflect on the work, the challenges, and the small moments that make each piece unique. Editing all the footage takes time, and, as they say, many of the cool shots end up on the cutting room floor. However, as I continue developing my filming and editing style, I might eventually create more extended versions of my travels and painting process.
For some reason, I need to point out that my intention is not to focus on becoming a YouTuber or anything like that.
I just feel compelled to share the moments that make the journey special—those small, meaningful instances that capture the essence of my travels and creative process.

The mural titled "Browsing" features two scenes and marks a slight shift in my style and approach—something I had been eager to explore for some time and finally had the opportunity to do so. The first scene is inspired by the view you encounter every Sunday while walking toward Hrelić, where many people sell old items along the embankment that runs parallel to the market. In contrast, the second scene depicts items you might find while browsing. I sometimes buy things like this for drawings and small studies, just for fun.
While I’m happier with some parts than others, I’ve stopped viewing my work as a "finished product" and now see it as an opportunity to experiment and try something new each time.
More videos and photos soon.
