Asking them Which Way to Lose

“Where contemporary urban culture meets the architectural legacy of Mostar.”

This striking original mixed-media painting captures a spontaneous, chic moment set against the unmistakable geometric facade of Mostar’s iconic Staklena banka building.

Three stylish women gather in conversation—holding coffee and books, draped in tailored coats, hats, and modern footwear. Their polished, effortless presence offers a lively modern contrast to the weathered, brutalist lines of the background.

Rendered in a rich, warm palette of terracotta, burnt ochre, and soft neutrals, the composition is unified by expressive vertical paint drips and subtle gold-bronze textures that mimic the passage of time on urban concrete. The layered impasto finish gives the canvas a tactile, atmospheric depth, evoking the feeling of a sunlit, nostalgic city afternoon.
