Study after Michelangelo's "PIETA", Head of Virgin (2016) Drawing by Nives Palmić

Nives Palmić is a painter and art teacher. Her principle is to achieve uniqueness, not imitate anyone or anything: she wants to be completely honest in her work. She understands that her role is to be a messenger and not just a marketer, and sees the importance of art in communication, to remind people of all that is essential for humans. She is influenced by the art of ancient cultures, such as medieval and Persian miniature painting. 

Nives Palmić was born in 1961 in Croatia. She graduated from the Academy of Fine Arts in Ljubljana. Today, she works as an art teacher, as well as a mentor and reviewer for art exhibitions. Nives Palmić is also the author of a popular how-to book "From Drawing to Painting", published in 2011.

In recent years, she has flourished in abstract painting and applied art such as painting and fabric printing. But today, she focuses primarily on drawing. She has achieved optimal expression by using and mastering classical drawing techniques such as graphite pencil, charcoal, ink and pastel.

Her sources of inspiration are mainly natural forms, fascination with plants, flowers, trees and, on the other hand, ornament as a means of visual expression of ideas. Texture is essential in his drawings, reflecting the character of each motif and adding a sensual dimension.
