  The pictures and drawings on the panels are compactly placed in the whole, no spatial layout. In part, they are drawings of urban landscape and Plečnik’s Ljubljana, and partly for the views from the air of numerous author’s trips (Djerba, Ancona, Cadaques, Tunis …) as well as Karst motifs. The hopping and virtuoso line of architectural drawings is the basis of the art composition, which, as an independent element, complements and activates free independent surfaces of pure shining colors. The atmosphere is airy, shiny, positive, the colors of the second triad are dominated by turquoise, green, purple with emphasis on pure primary colors.
