**afternoon at Balmoral Beach -** oil on canvas

Love for nature and especially Balmoral Beach when there was still a little coffee shop in the old Bathers’ Pavilion and a net on the water where seagulls used to rest in the afternoon.

themes inspired by Serbian tradition

In 2008 I was painting themes inspired by Serbian culture. I liked the traditional embroidery, still life, and white table-cloth that were always in our house and are a very precious inheritance from my mother and grandmothers. It will always be in my heart as a beautiful memory of happy homes where I grew up.
