Dubrovnik artist Iris Lobaš Kukavičić showcased her "Dimensions of Identity" series at the Supetar Hotel in Cavtat as part of the SupetART project. This initiative, through an artist-in-residence program, allows local artists to display their work in a hotel setting.
Lobaš Kukavičić's art, inspired by street art, explores identity's fluidity through perforated painting surfaces. Her work reveals the inner layers of identity, emphasizing the connection between internal and external aspects.
At the exhibition's opening, Lobaš Kukavičić explained that her art represents the interplay between an individual's inner world and social conditions. She aims to inspire introspection on how identity evolves in the modern world.
Nikoleta Kušelj from Adriatic Luxury Hotels highlighted that the collaboration between the hotel's ambiance and Lobaš Kukavičić's vibrant art provides a unique experience for visitors.
Born in Dubrovnik in 1976, Lobaš Kukavičić is an associate professor at the University of Dubrovnik's Department of Art and Restoration. She has a diverse artistic background, including painting, sculpture, and multimedia installations, and has exhibited widely in Croatia and abroad. Her work includes public sculptures in various cities and collaborations in graphic design.
The SupetART project, started last year by Adriatic Luxury Hotels, aims to showcase local culture and creativity, bringing together artists and audiences in a unique setting.
