As a technique, stained glass is traditionally related to architecture and using art to decorate crevices. Rarely is it encountered in a monumental form as a work of art in its own right and it’s mostly incorporated in walls where its transparent properties bridge the interior and exterior areas. As a particular art form, stained glass is fully formulated with a defined composition and theme. It also fully accentuates the space where it has been mounted. Painter Dominique Jurić is a Zagreb-native and one of very few artists in this part of Europe who employ this extremely complex and tedious technique.
