Contemporary Artists from Croatia
Imago Mundi - Luciano Benetton Collection

Texts by Luciano Benetton, Mara Rondi, Tonko Maroević

Dynamic beauty: the key words of this new Imago Mundi collection, which brings together the multifaceted Croatian artistic heritage, merging it with contemporary thought and language. The 145 works created by young talents and maestros of colour open a luminous, wide and variegated window on a neighbouring country, the 28th member state of the European Union, whose creativity remains relatively unknown.

 “Poetry is my lamp that delineates the space of darkness; a hand illuminated in its mysterious conformation”, recite the verses of Croatian poet Mile Pešorda. Similarly, Croatian contemporary art illuminates and shows the way.

 Croatia: Artists on the Move is an Imago Mundi collection, a cultural, democratic, global, non-profit project, promoted by Luciano Benetton with the aim of creating the widest possible mapping of the different contemporary artistic experiences of our world. In Imago Mundi, each country is represented by the works of established artists and new talents, commissioned with the maximum freedom of expression, whose only constraint is the 10x12 cm format.
