A new cycle of paintings by our artist Dr. Art. Dina Jakšić Pavasović has arrived at Jakšić Gallery in Split. An academic painter and Doctor of Arts, Dina is recognised for her distinctive artistic language characterised by powerful colour expression, rich texture, and an ongoing exploration of the relationship between form, space, and emotion. Through years of artistic practice, she has developed a unique abstract style in which layers of paint, expressive brushstrokes, and relief-like surface structures merge into dynamic compositions filled with energy and rhythm.
These new abstract paintings on canvas vary in size, colour palette, and compositional approach, yet they are united by the artist’s interest in balancing spontaneity with carefully considered visual structure. Some works are dominated by striking contrasts of blue, red, and yellow tones, while others reveal calmer, lighter surfaces where forms and colours evolve through subtle transitions and layered applications of paint.
A particularly intriguing aspect of this new collection is the inclusion of two miniature series, each consisting of four paintings that function as a cohesive whole. These works are conceived as open visual systems that can be displayed together or separately, rotated, rearranged, and combined in various ways. By altering their position, entirely new compositions and relationships between visual elements emerge, giving each installation a unique character. This approach invites the viewer to actively engage with the artwork and opens up almost limitless possibilities for interpretation.
One of the most compelling features of Dina’s paintings is their pronounced materiality. Thick applications of paint, textured surfaces, and visible traces of the creative process create a strong sense of depth and movement. The canvas becomes a meeting point of colour, light, and texture, while geometric outlines and organic forms interact to form layered visual compositions that feel both spontaneous and meticulously constructed.
Visitors interested in contemporary art, abstract painting, and original artworks in Split now have the opportunity to experience the latest works of this distinguished Croatian artist at Jakšić Gallery. Each painting carries its own story, rhythm, and energy, while together they form an impressive body of work that reflects the continuity of the artist’s exploration of colour, form, and contemporary visual expression.
We invite you to visit Jakšić Gallery in Split and immerse yourself in Dina’s distinctive artistic world, where colour, texture, and form take centre stage, creating a powerful and memorable visual experience.
