signature: down in the right corner: T. Grabar 1989.

The symmetrical composition in fantastic, bright almost psychedelic colors. All forms are slightly rounded, indented. The distinguishing forms of interesting houses in the foreground in the background plans grow abstracted in vertical form slightly rounded at the top. On the horizon only circular forms that left turn into full light remain recognizable, while the upper right part of the composition is "drowning" in the dark purple and red colors.

Tomislav Grabar was born in 1951 in Koprivnica. Paints already for twenty-five years, and exhibited for the first time in 1969 in Varazdin. Depicts the typical themes: the village, genre scenes, or combines these reasons. He can create great tension that is slightly expressionistic: cool colors and unclean, the particular morphology of flora and landscape, the houses "sharp" and the light singular and enigmatic, this gives a particular tone in these paintings. In his drawings, however, tends to be narrative. He lives and works in Mucna Reka, near Koprivnica.
