Thanks to his numerous and prominent exhibitions of authentic metal and wood sculptures, he has carved out a niche for himself on the Croatian art scene.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He finished primary and secondary school in his native Vara\u017edin, after which he went to London to study English Language and Literature. After getting a degree, he moved to New York, where he enrolled in the Stella Adler Conservatory. During his time in New York, he chanced on the illustrious photographer Deborah Turbeville, who became his mentor after noticing his eye for details and excellent composition.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"668\" src=\"https:\/\/symbol-quorum.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/04-1-1024x668.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3337\" srcset=\"https:\/\/symbol-quorum.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/04-1-1024x668.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/symbol-quorum.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/04-1-300x196.jpg 300w, https:\/\/symbol-quorum.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/04-1-768x501.jpg 768w, https:\/\/symbol-quorum.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/04-1.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>He soon started publicising his works, whose peculiar black and white deep shadow grid made them stand out from the photography trends of the time, so he had no trouble landing gigs for various fashion magazines such as Vogue or Playboy. He became famous in international circles in a flash, gaining a reputation as an excellent character portraitist, not just a photographer of female models. It did not take long for famous actors, artists, musicians, designers, and jet-setters to start scrambling for him.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"770\" src=\"https:\/\/symbol-quorum.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/06-Copy-of-Naomi-and-Lupino-1024x770.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3341\" srcset=\"https:\/\/symbol-quorum.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/06-Copy-of-Naomi-and-Lupino-1024x770.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/symbol-quorum.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/06-Copy-of-Naomi-and-Lupino-300x226.jpg 300w, https:\/\/symbol-quorum.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/06-Copy-of-Naomi-and-Lupino-768x578.jpg 768w, https:\/\/symbol-quorum.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/06-Copy-of-Naomi-and-Lupino.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>Even though he became a \u201ccitizen of the world\u201d, he has never lost touch with Croatia; he is still proud of his roots, from which he started drawing inspiration only later on in life, sprouting up native motifs all over his sculptures. When the Homeland War broke out, Lupino decided to return to Croatia from America, but the ravages of war took a big spiritual and emotional toll on him as an artist, so he temporarily said goodbye to saying cheese and turned to sculpture, reliefs, and painting.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After the war, he became increasingly interested in human suffering and the human body, so he focused on precisely these matters in his new photographs. His first work of this sort dates back to 2003 and bears the title \u201cMy Angels\u201d \u2013 he photographed terminally ill children and donated most of the proceeds to the Children\u2019s Hospital Zagreb. To this day, he has not turned his back on charity work and charity galas, which he has only recently spoken about in public. He has also worked on exhibitions for poverty- and earthquake-stricken children in Sisak&#8230;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Little is also known about his early days, when he photographed children for the Italian Vogue Bambini on the Ostia beach near Rome, expressing particular empathy for the most vulnerable, who reflect the perfection of creation and Nature more often than photo models with their perfect bodies.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He says that it is most difficult to prove oneself \u201cat home\u201d and that even today, certain people still express disbelief regarding his acquaintances and collaborations with world-famous artists, magazine editors and fellow photographers.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2013 People abroad, especially in the eighties and nineties of the last century, were very approachable. If they took notice of your talent, energy, enthusiasm, and a sort of madness, they\u2019d welcome you into their circles with open arms. It\u2019s not that I was \u201clucky\u201d; I wanted to learn, work, and improve myself. New talent and fresh ideas were always wanted. I hung out with people who had already established themselves as the best in their line of work, and they didn\u2019t feel threatened by me, which can\u2019t be said of our mentality. I did everything all by myself, but I did have good recommendations. But none of that would have happened if I was lazy or talentless \u2013 explains Lupino, who did not hesitate to show his photos to Annie Flanders, the legendary editor of Details magazine, which reported on the nightlife and art of Manhattan in the eighties.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2013 She hooked me up right away. People couldn\u2019t fathom that those were my first photos. I had a knack for framing photos, and I\u2019d just start \u201cclicking\u201d. It wasn\u2019t long before I started working for American and Italian Vogue. I also worked with Steven Meisel, a legendary American fashion photographer who shot to fame by shooting for Vogue, but also his friend, Madonna, for her book \u201cSex\u201d from 1992&#8230;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Anyhow, these were the sources from which I absorbed knowledge, and I was a quick learner. The very first night I came from London to New York, I walked into Studio 54 and was immediately introduced to the owner of the club. Those were the days&#8230; \u2013 says Lupino, who formed a lifelong friendship with the famous photographer Deborah Turbeville while in the US; she would later visit him on Hvar and even hang out with his mother.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Together with historian Branka Hlevnjak, he proclaimed his sculpture style Lupinism, which caused ridicule among some local art historians and artists. It is rather peculiar: when it comes to our country, some people are allowed a certain degree of eccentricity, while others do not enjoy that privilege.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Lupino just laughs it off, well aware that his sculptures in wood, iron, and copper are unlike anything we have the opportunity to see on the local sculpture scene.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-2 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/symbol-quorum.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/07-032-2.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"674\" height=\"1024\" data-id=\"3347\" src=\"https:\/\/symbol-quorum.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/07-032-2-674x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3347\" srcset=\"https:\/\/symbol-quorum.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/07-032-2-674x1024.jpg 674w, https:\/\/symbol-quorum.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/07-032-2-197x300.jpg 197w, https:\/\/symbol-quorum.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/07-032-2-768x1167.jpg 768w, https:\/\/symbol-quorum.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/07-032-2-1011x1536.jpg 1011w, https:\/\/symbol-quorum.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/07-032-2.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 674px) 100vw, 674px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/symbol-quorum.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/07-017.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"679\" height=\"1024\" data-id=\"3345\" src=\"https:\/\/symbol-quorum.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/07-017-679x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3345\" srcset=\"https:\/\/symbol-quorum.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/07-017-679x1024.jpg 679w, https:\/\/symbol-quorum.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/07-017-199x300.jpg 199w, https:\/\/symbol-quorum.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/07-017-768x1159.jpg 768w, https:\/\/symbol-quorum.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/07-017-1018x1536.jpg 1018w, https:\/\/symbol-quorum.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/07-017.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 679px) 100vw, 679px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/symbol-quorum.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/07-Cb39-edit2-contrast.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"670\" data-id=\"3353\" src=\"https:\/\/symbol-quorum.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/07-Cb39-edit2-contrast-1024x670.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3353\" srcset=\"https:\/\/symbol-quorum.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/07-Cb39-edit2-contrast-1024x670.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/symbol-quorum.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/07-Cb39-edit2-contrast-300x196.jpg 300w, https:\/\/symbol-quorum.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/07-Cb39-edit2-contrast-768x502.jpg 768w, https:\/\/symbol-quorum.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/07-Cb39-edit2-contrast.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2013 Even my early photos showcased authentic Lupinism in terms of style and ambience. I\u2019ve always stretched my camera frame and frame of mind further than the eye can see; I drew all the ideas and motifs from my imagination. At the beginning of my career, I spent four years in Rome and travelled around Greece as an athlete and karate player, but even then, I brushed with art. The former Yugoslavia felt too small for me, so I just followed my instincts elsewhere. I often travelled with the actress Irena Papas while she was working for the director Franco Zeffirelli in Rome, and she basically persuaded me to study English after mastering Italian and to go to New York. She introduced me to the world of art. She told me that I was like a volcano and that I had to harness my fiery spirit and talent. I already had the discipline and focus thanks to sports and karate, and I hadn\u2019t been spoiled by the dolce vita \u2013 says Lupino, reminiscing about the early eighties of the last century.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In New York, he was also welcomed into Jewish art circles (much thanks to Stella Adler, his acting coach), and Andy Warhol himself took a liking to his photos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Foreign critics often praise him even today; not that long ago, the exclusive Bluxe Century Magazine had very nice things to say about his sculptures and Lupinism in general, adding his photos with Naomi Campbell to the article to further prove the point.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He often liked to step out from behind the scenes and into the spotlight \u2013 nay, flashlight \u2013 and his photos were recently requested for publication by the eminent New York Magazine, which cited Lupino as \u201cone of the biggest names of the New York nightlife in the eighties.\u201d A few years ago, Paper Magazine ranked him second on their list of the TOP 10 people who marked New York nightlife, dubbing him the sex symbol of his generation!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>His dear associate and friend, the Japanese designer Koshin Satoh, came to his exhibition at the Dalia Gallery in Zagreb last May. Satoh \u201cdressed\u201d Miles Davis, Duran Duran, Michael Jackson, and Andy Warhol. He really dug \u201cLupinism\u201d, and the two of them intend to continue collaborating in the future.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2013 I\u2019ve visited Koshin in Japan twice, and we worked together at the end of the eighties in New York and Tokyo; we truly have a beautiful friendship \u2013 says Lupino.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>His unalterable tie to the surrealist gospel takes him closer to fantastic forms and beings, whose very dimensions do not fit into our plane of existence, and make it obvious that they are not from this world, although they emanate positive, vitalistic energy. Critic Darija \u017dili\u0107 makes a good observation stating that his elongated figures also exhibit elements of Mannerist stylised artifice, assuming the form of archetypes. Because of their accentuated movement and trademark side view, they have a certain mythical charge, as if they were the guardians of our galaxy.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He is currently wrapping up two monumental sculptures of iron dragons, the good and the evil one, each weighing half a tonne, on the premises of the NDK factory in \u0160trigova. One of them, the tame or the good dragon, will be placed in Zmajev vrt (\u201cThe Dragon Garden\u201d) on the nearby \u017delezna Gora. Namely, legends from Me\u0111imurje tell of Pozoj, the benevolent dragon, a mythical creature of frightening appearance who sleeps under the old town of \u010cakovec and protects the inhabitants of \u0160trigova from harm, natural disasters such as floods, and evil in general. Lupino already learned how to paint the dragon and dot the eyes back in 2019, when he did acrylic fire dragon motifs on canvas, which was also a symbolic representation of the destructive forces clashing on our planet, wreaking havoc on everything, from everyday situations to global politics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2013 This was a huge challenge for me. While working on the tame dragon, it hit me that I should also make his counterpart, the evil dragon, but I didn\u2019t base their appearance and symbolism on the dragons from Chinese culture. Dragons are woven into the ancient fabric of our society, ruling over our local myths and history, and that\u2019s why I\u2019ll make the apocalyptic dragon next \u2013 for it resonates with the times we live in \u2013 Lupino explains for Symbol.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Two years ago, Lupino donated three Plesa\u010dica (\u201cDancer\u201d) sculptures to Zmajev vrt of the Valkaj family in \u017delezna Gora, hot on the trail of the surrealist style and its elongated, slender bodies; however, compared to the dimensions of the new dragon, those will seem teeny-weeny&#8230;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-2 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-2 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/symbol-quorum.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/People-from-another-world-113x54cm-DSC_8976.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"606\" height=\"1024\" data-id=\"3357\" src=\"https:\/\/symbol-quorum.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/People-from-another-world-113x54cm-DSC_8976-606x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3357\" srcset=\"https:\/\/symbol-quorum.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/People-from-another-world-113x54cm-DSC_8976-606x1024.jpg 606w, https:\/\/symbol-quorum.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/People-from-another-world-113x54cm-DSC_8976-177x300.jpg 177w, https:\/\/symbol-quorum.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/People-from-another-world-113x54cm-DSC_8976-768x1298.jpg 768w, https:\/\/symbol-quorum.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/People-from-another-world-113x54cm-DSC_8976-909x1536.jpg 909w, https:\/\/symbol-quorum.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/People-from-another-world-113x54cm-DSC_8976-1211x2048.jpg 1211w, https:\/\/symbol-quorum.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/People-from-another-world-113x54cm-DSC_8976.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 606px) 100vw, 606px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/symbol-quorum.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Mother-Provider-350-x-60-x-50-cm-made-from-bronze-DSC_0795.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"683\" height=\"1024\" data-id=\"3355\" src=\"https:\/\/symbol-quorum.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Mother-Provider-350-x-60-x-50-cm-made-from-bronze-DSC_0795-683x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3355\" srcset=\"https:\/\/symbol-quorum.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Mother-Provider-350-x-60-x-50-cm-made-from-bronze-DSC_0795-683x1024.jpg 683w, https:\/\/symbol-quorum.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Mother-Provider-350-x-60-x-50-cm-made-from-bronze-DSC_0795-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/symbol-quorum.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Mother-Provider-350-x-60-x-50-cm-made-from-bronze-DSC_0795-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/symbol-quorum.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Mother-Provider-350-x-60-x-50-cm-made-from-bronze-DSC_0795-1024x1536.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/symbol-quorum.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Mother-Provider-350-x-60-x-50-cm-made-from-bronze-DSC_0795.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 683px) 100vw, 683px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/symbol-quorum.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/05.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" data-id=\"3339\" src=\"https:\/\/symbol-quorum.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/05-1024x682.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3339\" srcset=\"https:\/\/symbol-quorum.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/05-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/symbol-quorum.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/05-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/symbol-quorum.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/05-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/symbol-quorum.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/05.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Photographer and artist Stephan Lupino is currently wrapping up two monumental iron dragon sculptures.
