“Ever since my late father, Malcolm Forbes, acquired his first Mihanovic in 1981, the entire family has been under the soothing spell – the perfect tranquility that he succeeds in capturing in his meticulously rendered works. An exhibition of his paintings in late 2012 was one of the most popular shows ever held at the Forbes Magazine Galleries. Anyone having the privilege of enjoying his works today will not be surprised that this was so.”

– Christopher "Kip' Forbes

The realistic paintings of Zvonimir Mihanovic draw inspiration from the peacefulness and serenity of the Dalmatian coast on the Adriatic Sea – where the artist resides. It seems, in the artist’s paintings, that time has stopped. His boats and villages rest peacefully in silence and stillness. Central to all his works is the essence of Nature - light. With his mastery of capturing light, combined with an unmatched skill of his use of colors, Mihanovic captures serenity, peace and harmony.
