on their work<\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"111\" data-end=\"570\">Renowned journalist \u017deljko \u017dutelija visited the Jak\u0161i\u0107 family in their workshop in Donji Humac on the island of Bra\u010d, where he experienced their work first-hand. The result is a comprehensive and compelling article about their artistic practice, published in <em data-start=\"374\" data-end=\"384\">Navigare<\/em>, a supplement of the magazine <em data-start=\"415\" data-end=\"425\">Nacional<\/em>. His text goes beyond a simple overview of the family\u2019s work, offering a deeper reflection on their relationship with stone, time, and creation.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"572\" data-end=\"899\">\u017dutelija recognises the uniqueness of the family from the very beginning, writing:<br data-start=\"654\" data-end=\"657\" \/>\u201cIn Donji Humac on the island of Bra\u010d lives a unique family whose work proves that art can grow out of stone.\u201d<br data-start=\"771\" data-end=\"774\" \/>This sentence captures the essence of their practice \u2013 a fusion of tradition, material, and contemporary artistic expression.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"901\" data-end=\"1289\">Throughout the article, the idea emerges that working with stone is far more than a craft \u2013 it is an ongoing dialogue with the material, passed down through generations. This is why the author emphasises that the Jak\u0161i\u0107 family has \u201cturned their inner quarry into art,\u201d highlighting the deep personal connection each member has with stone as the fundamental medium of their expression.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1291\" data-end=\"1402\">In describing the work of individual family members, \u017dutelija highlights their distinct artistic contributions:<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1404\" data-end=\"1669\">For <a href=\"https:\/\/galerijajaksic.com\/en\/ida-stipcic-jaksic\/\"><strong data-start=\"1408\" data-end=\"1430\">Ida Stip\u010di\u0107 Jak\u0161i\u0107<\/strong><\/a>, whose design work carries a strong artistic identity, the text suggests her ability to transform materials and ideas into a recognisable visual language, rooted in years of artistic exploration and experimentation with diverse materials.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1671\" data-end=\"1945\">For <a href=\"https:\/\/klesarskaradionica-jaksic.hr\/en\"><strong data-start=\"1675\" data-end=\"1692\">Dra\u017een Jak\u0161i\u0107<\/strong><\/a>, who continues the stonemasonry tradition through a contemporary approach, the idea of continuity stands out \u2013 his work embodies a balance between tradition and functionality, where stone remains the foundation while gaining new purpose through design.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1947\" data-end=\"2273\">Speaking about sculptor <a href=\"https:\/\/galerijajaksic.com\/en\/lovre-jaksic\/\"><strong>Lovre Jak\u0161i\u0107<\/strong><\/a>, \u017dutelija clearly underlines his artistic relevance. Statement affirms his position within the contemporary sculpture scene, as well as the consistent quality of his work.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2275\" data-end=\"2675\">For painter <a href=\"https:\/\/galerijajaksic.com\/en\/dina-jaksic-pavasovic\/\"><strong data-start=\"2287\" data-end=\"2312\">Dina Jak\u0161i\u0107 Pavasovi\u0107<\/strong><\/a>, the author emphasises both her connection to the same creative roots and her individual artistic development:<br data-start=\"2423\" data-end=\"2426\" \/>\u201cDina Jak\u0161i\u0107 Pavasovi\u0107 has presented her works at many exhibitions and received high recognition.\u201d<br data-start=\"2528\" data-end=\"2531\" \/>This highlights her presence within contemporary art and her ability to develop a distinct visual language in dialogue with her family heritage.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2677\" data-end=\"3093\">The article gains additional depth through a quote by the late academic sculptor Marija Ujevi\u0107 Galetovi\u0107, which \u017dutelija includes to further explore the symbolism of stone:<br data-start=\"2853\" data-end=\"2856\" \/>\u201cMan, like stone, strives to endure. Everything he does is a struggle for permanence.\u201d<br data-start=\"2946\" data-end=\"2949\" \/>This thought strongly resonates with the work of the Jak\u0161i\u0107 family, whose artistic and stonemasonry projects stand as lasting imprints in stone.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"3095\" data-end=\"3427\">From the Egyptian pyramids to Dalmatian dry-stone walls and Bra\u010d memorials, stone has long been a symbol of permanence. It is within this broader context that the Jak\u0161i\u0107 family works \u2013 their creations are not merely aesthetic objects, but part of a larger narrative about time, heritage, and the human need to leave a lasting trace.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"3429\" data-end=\"3606\">We would like to take this opportunity to thank \u017deljko \u017dutelija for this outstanding article, which recognises and eloquently conveys the value of our work and family tradition.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"3608\" data-end=\"3646\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-is-only-node=\"\">\ud83d\udc49 You can read the full article <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nacional.hr\/kako-su-stoljetnu-borbu-s-kamenom-jaksici-pretvorili-u-modernu-umjetnost\/?fbclid=IwAR3QkIKGydLgS1hj-NedArgmDBEkop3mPnY7acQMIQuY45ljjxbPYfq-_8g\"><strong>here<\/strong><\/a>:<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><a style=\"font-size: 16px;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nacional.hr\/kako-su-stoljetnu-borbu-s-kamenom-jaksici-pretvorili-u-modernu-umjetnost\/?fbclid=IwAR3QkIKGydLgS1hj-NedArgmDBEkop3mPnY7acQMIQuY45ljjxbPYfq-_8g\">link na \u010dlanak u web verziji<\/a><\/h3>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Renowned journalist \u017deljko \u017dutelija visits the Jak\u0161i\u0107 family and writes an in-depth feature on their work Renowned journalist \u017deljko \u017dutelija visited the Jak\u0161i\u0107 family in their<span class=\"excerpt-hellip\"> [\u2026]<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":3964,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[48,49,50,51,52],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/galerijajaksic.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3962"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/galerijajaksic.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/galerijajaksic.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/galerijajaksic.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/galerijajaksic.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3962"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/galerijajaksic.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3962\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":4737,"href":"https:\/\/galerijajaksic.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3962\/revisions\/4737"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/galerijajaksic.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/3964"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/galerijajaksic.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3962"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/galerijajaksic.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3962"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/galerijajaksic.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3962"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
