Belgrade is one of the oldest cities in Europe and in the world. One of the most important prehistoric cultures in Europe, the Vinča culture evolved within the Belgrade area in the 6th millennium BC.

Belgrade is the only city in Europe older than two millennia that does not have a house older than 180 years. The European capital that has been most often besieged and destroyed throughout history.

The city is continuously evolving and growing and I am not always keeping up with it.  I am not tied to it by its sidewalks or peeling facades or Belgrade on the waterfront. I am bound to it by the memory of another time and wonderful people.

The longing and memories of the place where I grew up are captured in vivid colors of this painting.  The memory of the long walks along the banks of the Danube and the Sava and bicycle rides to Avala and Ada Ciganlija break out of the colors in this painting.. 

This is Belgrade left on the tires of my old bike.

The painting comes in a limited series of only 50 prints.  Each print is hand-signed numbered and it includes a certificate of authenticity.

The artwork is using a 1.5" deep gallery wrap and it is not framed.
