Zlatko Strficek was born October 26, 1953 in Hlebine. His acute sensitivity awoke in touch with the natural landscape and in 1968 when he began to paint landscapes of his native region. Very quickly, his talent was noticed. Painted on canvas and glass. Zlatko Strficek remained faithful to the tradition of Hlebine Art School Naive features, and at the same time managed to impose a personal style. The seduction comes from the beautiful landscapes, the perspective of depth, which gives a delicate and fine detail.
Zlatko Strficek paints with warm tones and very often we see a dominant theme in the foreground in his paintings. He lives and works in Koprivnica.
