Reflections of memories / Refleksija sjećanja

Reflections of memories, abstract landscape, contemporary art painting by Zlatko Music (acrylic on canvas)

A few months ago on the way back from Croatia, while I was sitting on the bus gathering impressions, the sun was setting on the beautiful coast of Dalmatia.
Because at that moment I didn’t have a camera close at hand, or any pen and paper to capture that beautiful scene, I stared out the window trying to burn it into my memory. While the view of the coastline slowly began to disappear, more and more obscured by the rocky Biokovo mountain, in my mind I was already starting to work on my new painting.
Upon returning home and after a short night’s sleep, the next morning I picked up the largest canvas I had and started to paint.
In an attempt to capture the moment from memory, I used a large brush and palette knife without going into too much descriptive details.
The final result was this abstract landscape “Reflections of memories”.

Prije par mjeseci u povratku iz Hrvatske, dok sam sjedio u autobusu i sabirao utiske, sunce se spuštalo na predivnu obalu Dalmacije.
Pošto u tom trenutku nisam imao fotoaparat pri ruci, niti bilo kakvu olovku i papir da zabilježim tu predivnu scenu, gledao sam kroz prozor pokušavajući da svaki momenat, svaku impresiju urežem u pamćenje. Pogled na obalu je sve češće zaklanjalo kamenito Biokovo, a ja sam u mislima već povlačio prve poteze svoje nove slike.
Po povratku kući i nakon kraćeg sna, uzeo sam najveće platno koje sam imao i počeo da nanosim boju dok me sjećanje još dobro služi.
Pokušavajući da dočaram trenutak, koristio sam velike četke i špahtlu ne ulazeći previše u opisne detalje da ne izgubim impresiju momenta.
Konačni rezultat je bio ovaj abstraktni pejzaž “Refleksija sjećanja”.
