The series of photographs "Dalmatia" presents motifs,utility objects, architectural and cultural values that imbue with everyday moments in the life of people in Dalmatia.
The author primarily finds his inspiration and fascination in an almost alchemy ability of our people to shape the cold stone into warm environment through the love and hands which the stone obediantly follows in its adventure of transformation.
The mystery of this metamorphoses of cold stone into the "warm stone" will remain forever hidden in the old colour of "skura" (type of full wooden window typical for Dalmatia), in the tired carts and in the cold depths of wells. It can only be revealed in the silence of the eye and heart of those who remain modest before them.
