Art Exhibition, Preko, Croatia

The exhibition Vanilla Sky.
The name of the exhibition was inspired by my travels to Hawaii island.
I was invited to the USA as an artist in residence on the Hawaii island for one month.
The range of climate and lifestyles is huge on that island. I was above the clouds in the mountain remote Buddhist Sanctuary, in various villages near the ocean, big cities and based near erupting Volcano villages.
In order to get the diverse feel of Island live I was offered a few days stay on the Vanilla farm in Waipio Valley. This is wild Rainforest and jungles surrounded by stip rocks and huge waterfalls connected to the ocean.
Were I was learning many things and among them how to pollinate Vanilla Flowers to facilitate the Vanilla seed growth. It was an exciting journey. I tried fresh cocoa beans and cava plant juice, met wild horses family in jungles, leaving in a cabin on tall legs attached to the rocks, I saw trees falling right beside me...
