Particularly prominent are his portraits which have been painted under the influence of Pavlinic''s mentor, professor Zlatko Šulentic. He also worked with professor Šulentic on the monumental fresco in Marija Bistrica. Portraits and landscapes are Pavlinic''s favourite subjects. Many of the landscapes were painted from memory and photographs and thus represent reflections of the author''s nostalgia for his country. The latest works are more experimental in nature, much closer to the abstract art.04.03.2005. | Press releases
