life. Firmly connected with the sea and nature he manages to pour sea on canvas
and create unique paintings.

for the glass and ceramics in combinations with pigments and golden leaves ( new
and old techniques ) to create stunning artworks and many art's critics like Paolo
Levi, Vittorio Sgarbi, Anna Francesca Biondolillo, Salvo Nugnes, Mariarosaria

From the beginning, Stjepko has made his own path. He has pursued an "ecological
vision" of art's place in contemporary life. Art as an essential part of our
contemporary household and enviroment. Capt.Stjepko now beckons a wider public
to take part in that vision. Join me, he says, because the Art is Life
