Filip Petrovic

About the Artist

Filip Petrović, born and raised in a small coastal town called Poreč,

is a self taught painter and artist that has become well known for his work all across Europe. He started to explore painting as a hobby in his early twenties by doing landscape paintings of his hometown and other neighboring cities like Rovinj, Pula, Umag, Novigrad and Venice. When his friends and family saw his work, they encouraged him to display the paintings and offer them for sale to both tourists and locals.

Since he didn’t have a full degree of the Croatian Academy of Arts he was not able to organize exhibitions in galleries and museums. Therefore he had to figure out a different way to display his work.

One summer he decided to open up a small display stall on the walkway in the center of the old town. That was his first step to opening up and showing his paintings to the world. The response people had when seeing his first work of landscape and seascape paintings was very positive. People, both locals and tourists fell in love with his work. Kruno was lucky that his town Poreč was a big vacation spot for many people from European countries like England, Germany, Italy and other. 

In a few years he became very popular and people bought his paintings as gifts for their family and friends, as souvenirs from their vacation in Croatia and as home decor pieces and before he even knew it, his hobby and passion for painting became his profession. He tried several painting techniques and discovered that his best work was done with acrylic and oil paint. After mastering Croatian landscape and seascape paintings he started to paint people and portraits on demand. Check out our portrait section in case you want to see his work.
