ZITNIK

"Srecko ZITNIK has been painting, exhibiting and teaching for almost thirty years. He was born in Split, Croatia, graduated Art at the University of Split (painting classes - professor/painter Ivan Krstulovic). Since then he travell around the world a lot (Holland, Germany, Switzerland, India, USA), discovering new inspirations and exploring new motifs...He had about 35 shows, mostly solo ones. First one was a long time ago, back in student days.
First serious show was in Split in 1986, called "Colors of Holland". From 1986 to 2006 he exhibited his work at galleries in Split, Bol, Vis, Zagreb, Belgrade, Bern and Chicago. Last four years he didn't show any. At a moment he is preparing exhibition in Rijeka (spring 2010). During a stay in USA (Chicago, Miami 2006) he changed his style a bit, but just temporarily.
He recently finished his first E-Book about painting called "HOW CAN I IMPROVE MY PAINTING" where he presented his approach to the painting issue in general, but also with some instructional elements connected with the first painting steps, painting improvement and the way we "look" on painting as the part of the visual arts."
