With bright colours and fine detail, Ivan Generali? depicts a tranquil water landscape in this reverse glass painting, against which colourful, almost surreal-looking plants unfold. Typical of the leading representative of Croatian naive painting, the work combines observation of nature with poetic exaggeration. The technique of reverse glass painting creates a special luminosity and clarity that gives the motif a timeless, almost dreamlike effect. Generali? creates a visual world between reality and fantasy, deeply rooted in the rural tradition of his homeland Podravina.
