They\u2019re excellent.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This call didn\u2019t surprise me at all because Stipe Nobilo, one of the last great painters of Dalmatia and the Mediterranean, has loved classical music since his student days. While his colleagues were enjoying themselves in the Vinodol restaurant, he was across the street in the Istra hall, attending fantastic classical music concerts. Now, when he reads for several hours a day, Nobilo always listens to music by the \u201cFour B\u201d composers: Bach, Beethoven, Bruckner, and Brahms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For his Kor\u010dula landscapes, filled with vibrant colors and light\u2014known to critics as \u201cNobilo\u2019s landscapes\u201d\u2014he says they are similar to Johann Sebastian Bach\u2019s musical creations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cFrom a single musical note, Bach creates any musical form\u2014from an oratorio or sonata to a symphony. That\u2019s how I paint. I can paint a square centimeter in a million variations. I\u2019m essentially composing paintings. In them, I have sixteenth notes with dots, and the large empty spaces on the canvas are quarter notes with big codas and dots. This is why, even if I lived another 300 years, I would still have something to say and paint.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nobilo tells us he doesn\u2019t copy nature but creates and portrays it through landscapes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI invent motives; they come from my thoughts, and they are essentially composed landscapes.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"744\" data-id=\"4050\" src=\"https:\/\/symbol-quorum.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/5-1024x744.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4050\" srcset=\"https:\/\/symbol-quorum.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/5-1024x744.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/symbol-quorum.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/5-300x218.jpg 300w, https:\/\/symbol-quorum.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/5-768x558.jpg 768w, https:\/\/symbol-quorum.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/5.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"758\" data-id=\"4052\" src=\"https:\/\/symbol-quorum.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/3-1024x758.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4052\" srcset=\"https:\/\/symbol-quorum.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/3-1024x758.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/symbol-quorum.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/3-300x222.jpg 300w, https:\/\/symbol-quorum.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/3-768x568.jpg 768w, https:\/\/symbol-quorum.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/3.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>He dislikes being categorized into stylistic movements or as a trend-following painter because, as he often emphasizes, he has always avoided belonging to any artistic groups or directions. However, he admits that he could be defined as an individual expressionist who draws beauty from nature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cMy paintings are details within a whole; they are puzzles that I separate graphically, coloristically, and compositionally within the image. I\u2019m a painter of narration and motives, baroquely expansive. Without that, I could be an abstract painter, but I don\u2019t want to. Abstraction is fine, but it\u2019s created rationally, and I am emotional.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A great compliment for him was when a fellow painter Vatroslav Kuli\u0161 said that he could recognize a Nobilo painting even from 500 meters away, among 50 other works. Nobilo saw this as proof that he had synthesized his own identity and integrity as a painter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWhen you achieve that, it\u2019s bingo. I\u2019ve accomplished that,\u201d he concludes with satisfaction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In his unique artistic expression, it\u2019s evident that he has established harmony and balance between his inner self and the external world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI\u2019ve remained a traditionalist and classicist my whole life, and like a Renaissance man, I am always seeking harmony and balance between my surroundings and my inner self.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nobilo never followed trends but remained a painter of the Mediterranean, never abandoning the figurative or the landscapes of his Kor\u010dula, its sea, and nature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another unique aspect of Nobilo\u2019s paintings is the absence of people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThat\u2019s true, but everything else that you see\u2014boats, olive groves, gardens, vineyards\u2014are all products of human hands. So, in a way, people are still present in my paintings indirectly.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-2 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"605\" data-id=\"4054\" src=\"https:\/\/symbol-quorum.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/4-1024x605.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4054\" srcset=\"https:\/\/symbol-quorum.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/4-1024x605.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/symbol-quorum.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/4-300x177.jpg 300w, https:\/\/symbol-quorum.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/4-768x454.jpg 768w, https:\/\/symbol-quorum.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/4.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"722\" data-id=\"4056\" src=\"https:\/\/symbol-quorum.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/7-1024x722.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4056\" srcset=\"https:\/\/symbol-quorum.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/7-1024x722.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/symbol-quorum.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/7-300x211.jpg 300w, https:\/\/symbol-quorum.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/7-768x541.jpg 768w, https:\/\/symbol-quorum.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/7.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The process of creating his paintings is long.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI build and add to them, often returning to an already completed painting, repainting it several times, adding and reducing, and in the end, I am rarely completely satisfied.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One more thing: Nobilo never works on commission.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI don\u2019t cater to anyone. If someone wants one of my paintings, they can come and choose.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Critics describe Nobilo\u2019s paintings as revealing what the average eye doesn\u2019t notice in nature\u2014what\u2019s invisible becomes visible, reality transforms into the mystery of art, and his imagination takes tangible shape through his paintings. His works are recognized for their Arcadian color schemes and Mediterranean motifs, which critics have said are metaphors for paradise gardens, a notion reinforced by the lush vegetation and opulent surroundings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He says that talent doesn\u2019t diminish, and that years and experience enrich and multiply it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cLife and artistic maturity make painting fuller and of higher quality. Paintings become a substrate of everything you learn and experience throughout life\u2014what you\u2019ve seen, experienced, read, and learned. In the end, all of that crystallizes into one complete substrate,\u201d says our interviewee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After completing the Pedagogical Academy in Split, Nobilo was accepted into the Academy of Fine Arts in Zagreb in 1967, where he graduated in 1971. He had his first solo exhibition in Zagreb in 1976. One of his paintings was given by former Prime Minister Ivo Sanader as a gift to then-U.S. President George Bush during a visit to Washington.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nobilo returned to Kor\u010dula in 1987, where his wife and two children awaited him. He returned partly because many great French painters lived in the provinces on the C\u00f4te d\u2019Azur in Antibes\u2014Matisse, Picasso, C\u00e9zanne, and the brilliant Vincent van Gogh. He also returned because his beautiful family summer home from the 18th century, where he now lives, was waiting for him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"657\" src=\"https:\/\/symbol-quorum.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/MG_3841-1024x657.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4058\" srcset=\"https:\/\/symbol-quorum.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/MG_3841-1024x657.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/symbol-quorum.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/MG_3841-300x192.jpg 300w, https:\/\/symbol-quorum.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/MG_3841-768x493.jpg 768w, https:\/\/symbol-quorum.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/MG_3841.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The path leading to the palace is full of the ethereal aromas of lavender, thyme, rosemary, mint, and marjoram, giving off otherworldly scents. From the terrace, which he calls his command bridge, there\u2019s a spectacular bird\u2019s-eye view of the islands and the sea, a scene beautifully reflected in his paintings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The living room is filled with his works, books, and CDs of classical music, while his small studio, adjacent to the living room, is partially covered by a glass roof that lets in plenty of natural light. This is very important to Nobilo, as his paintings are full of color, brightness, and sunshine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>By education and interests, Nobilo is truly a Renaissance man. In addition to painting, he reads extensively, follows literature, listens to classical music, and is well-informed about political and cultural events not only in Croatia but also around the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Around Nobilo\u2019s palace, on 2,000 square meters, there\u2019s a vineyard with 3,000 vines, an olive grove with 150 trees, and a fruit orchard. Annually, depending on the harvest, he produces between 80 and 450 liters of high-quality olive oil. Under optimal conditions, he produces 600 to 700 liters of wine, both Grk and Plavac varieties.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIf I didn\u2019t work physically, if I didn\u2019t mow the grass, tend to the vines and olives, and fish, I wouldn\u2019t be in the shape I\u2019m in today. Plus, while pruning the vines, mowing, or sitting in the boat waiting for fish, I\u2019m thinking, contemplating, and planning what I\u2019ll paint.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nobilo usually gets up every morning at 5 a.m., and depending on the weather, he decides what to do. If it\u2019s nice, he goes to the vineyard and the field; if it\u2019s bad, he goes fishing or to the studio. From late spring through the summer and into early autumn, he spends most mornings from 5 to 8 a.m. working in the vineyard or garden, mowing the grass or harvesting olives. Then he buys bread and newspapers, continuing his work on the land until 10 a.m. After that, he goes to the studio, where he typically spends at least eight hours a day. Without exception, every day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For him, it\u2019s no problem to come to the studio and paint immediately after several hours of digging in the vineyard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThat metamorphosis, from physical work to painting, is very important because it means I don\u2019t waste time.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"738\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/symbol-quorum.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/otvorna-1-738x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4060\" srcset=\"https:\/\/symbol-quorum.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/otvorna-1-738x1024.jpg 738w, https:\/\/symbol-quorum.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/otvorna-1-216x300.jpg 216w, https:\/\/symbol-quorum.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/otvorna-1-768x1065.jpg 768w, https:\/\/symbol-quorum.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/otvorna-1-1108x1536.jpg 1108w, https:\/\/symbol-quorum.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/otvorna-1.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 738px) 100vw, 738px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Due to fishing, gardening, and harvesting olives and grapes, Nobilo has true laborer\u2019s hands. They are in stark contrast to his gentle paintings, full of emotion. However, when these rough hands pick up the palette knife (Nobilo paints with a palette knife, not a brush), they transform into the delicate hands of a virtuoso pianist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWith the palette knife, I can achieve effects and details that are impossible to achieve with a brush. It\u2019s true that because of the knife, I have to hold my body differently, which is one of the reasons I paint more slowly.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He uses brushes only when painting gouache.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nobilo gives the impression of a happy and satisfied man. He is always smiling, cheerful, and content. It\u2019s no wonder that his joyful and optimistic nature is immediately evident in his paintings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Given that he enjoys a top-notch artistic status, and his paintings are highly sought after by not only buyers from Croatia but also many foreign tourists visiting the Adriatic, Nobilo doesn\u2019t exhibit much anymore. In fact, he finds it increasingly difficult to part with his paintings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI often wonder why I sell them at all. My wife and I don\u2019t need the money anymore. We have enough. We\u2019ve helped our children, who are settled. I have buyers, respect, and a standard. What more do I need?\u201d concludes Stipe Nobilo.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The painter Stipe Nobilo never followed trends but remained a Mediterranean artist, staying true to the figurative and landscape depictions of his native Kor\u010dula, as well as the sea and nature<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":4048,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[28],"tags":[37],"class_list":["post-4062","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-culture-art","tag-published"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.3 -
