"There is a small coastline village, distant and isolated and rarely visited by strangers. A village with strange residents where life is usually predictable and calm, some could even say quite boring. One day a visitor, while trying to get away from the storm, got lost and while in panic, and stressed out, his recognizable spots fell off and got scattered over the village, causing all sorts of problems for the scared villagers. It caused the traffic collapse and scared all the fish that the village depended on.  But the stranger didn't mean any harm. He was just frightened and didn't know what to do. He couldn't leave the village without his spots as he was afraid that it might look ridiculous. The village council had to find the solution quickly. After few days of debate, they decided to find his markings and to organize a reconstruction of pattern, so the tall stranger can get on his way and leave them be..."


My works are complex photo collages based on my own photography. I have been collecting photographs for over a decade. It is a long process of combining carefully selected photography fragments and illustrated parts, which are then transferred to computer and digitally painted.

Inspired by nature, societal observation, and the world of fantasy, Croatian artist Nikolina Petolas opens the door to secret places where memories, desires, and the subconscious converge, existing somewhere between real life and imagination. Through allegory as a means of expression, she discovers a parallel world woven into dreams and disrupts our perception of reality. In her symbolic visual stories, Nikolina creates a deep narrative with profound compositions in her unique style by blending contemporary digital techniques with photography or through traditional painting. Nikolina's distinctive artistic style has captured the attention of prestigious clients such as Ferragamo and Marriot, with whom she has collaborated closely. Recognized in the field of contemporary surrealism and featured in numerous art books and publications, she also has a notable inclusion in 'Lexikon der Phantastischen Künstler' by Gerhard Habarta. Her signature Blue Pear series has gained worldwide recognition, earning numerous international art awards. Her impressive portfolio has been widely acclaimed and exhibited in galleries and museums across Europe, the United States, and Asia.
