About the author:
I grew up in Lumbarda, on the Adriatic island of Korčula (Croatia), in a family of stonemasons.
My father is a well-known stonemason, and my great-granduncle, Frano Kršinić, was one of Croatia’s greatest sculptors. His works belong to the very top of European figurative sculpture, and one of his most famous pieces is the statue of Nikola Tesla in Niagara Falls State Park.
But – talent alone isn’t enough. I’ve always believed in discipline, focus, and everyday hard work.
I saw this firsthand as a child when I spent time in the home of one of Croatia’s most remarkable contemporary painters, Stipe Nobilo. His daughter Dina and I were friends, and I was fascinated by watching him paint.
Watching him work – layering blues to capture the sea’s depth – was mesmerizing. His discipline, patience, and mastery of color left a deep mark on my artistic expression.
