DALIA GALLERY, DALIA KATAVIĆ

You say that your jewelry is made to measure by art. Can you explain what you mean by that and what is your creative style?

The art has a width in a way that it is not only what we see, hear, read or perceive. It is an entire 'invisible world'. Art is free, beautiful, rebellious, independent, and curious. If we are going to put that all as a measure... then let's start measuring :). Style, individuality, originality or handwriting?! Open the window, and every day there is a different picture in front of you. So it is for me as well.

Your jewelry, in addition to being artistic and beautiful, is above all wearable. What can we find in your assortment? What do you put special emphasis on in your creations?

The jewelry I make includes details from everyday life that may not initially give the impression of something you would adorn yourself with. The emphasis is on the detail that makes you aware of how much beauty there is around us, how much an object can either bring us back or take us to a quite ordinary and yet a good story.

Can you describe the process of creating and making a piece of jewelry and what inspires you in your work?

The process of creating a piece of jewelry is very simple when you do what you love. There is no difficulty or fuss about it. Certainly, some parts of the process are really demanding, but it is important to emphasize that what I do is not a job. This is pure love inspired by absolutely everything that surrounds me. Both beautiful and less beautiful things, but also those things that may be completely lacking in beauty.

In addition to your jewelry, we can often see artists' exhibitions in the Dalia Gallery. Can you tell us more about the art that visitors and customers have the opportunity to see and buy?

Our gallery is a place where, in addition to jewelry, we also exhibit the works of renowned Croatian painters, sculptors, and photographers. Furthermore, we support young artists and students of the Academy of Fine Arts and the Croatian Society of Fine Artists by exhibiting their works. The exhibited works are mainly works of smaller formats intended for sale. Stop by, indulge in extraordinary beauty and reward yourself with some unique jewelry or artwork.
