The paintings of Dr. Art. Dina Jakšić Pavasović have found their place in numerous private homes and collections across the globe. From Croatia to France, Germany, Canada, New Zealand, and especially the United States, her artworks have become part of everyday living spaces, bringing colour, atmosphere, and artistic character into contemporary interiors.
Dina Jakšić Pavasović is a Croatian artist from the island of Brač whose work is primarily dedicated to abstract painting. Although she is deeply connected to stone through her family’s long tradition of stonemasonry and artistic stonework, painting remains at the centre of her artistic expression. For more than twenty years, she has continuously developed her distinctive visual language, creating works characterised by expressive brushstrokes, layered textures, and vibrant colour relationships.
Over the years, a large number of her paintings have travelled far beyond the island where they were created. Today, they live in homes, villas, apartments, and private collections across different continents. What makes these works particularly valuable is their ability to establish a dialogue with the surrounding space. Rather than functioning merely as decorative elements, Dina’s paintings become focal points within an interior, influencing the atmosphere and identity of the room.
The photographs sent to us by collectors beautifully demonstrate this relationship between painting and space. In contemporary living rooms, her large-format canvases introduce warmth, movement, and visual depth. Bright yellows, rich reds, deep blues, and subtle neutral tones create striking contrasts with modern furniture, minimalist architecture, and carefully designed interiors. In some spaces, the paintings act as vibrant accents that energise the room, while in others they provide a sense of balance and harmony.
Particularly impressive is the versatility of her work. Whether displayed in a modern villa overlooking the sea, a city apartment, a mountain home, or an elegant family residence, the paintings adapt naturally to their surroundings while retaining their artistic strength. Their abstract forms invite personal interpretation, allowing each viewer to establish a unique emotional connection with the artwork.
The growing international presence of Dina Jakšić Pavasović’s paintings confirms the universal appeal of her artistic vision. Created on the island of Brač and inspired by a lifelong dedication to art, these works continue to enrich living spaces worldwide, transforming everyday interiors into places of beauty, inspiration, and personal expression.
