CONTEPEPE is the newest oil painting by Nikolina Petolas. This portrait of a Pepe historical character in the Royal Gardens amidst giant candy is the match to a pair. These two individuals have an unknown destiny, yet to be written. They exist in this world as two paintings, but out of the artist studio they must go. Maybe they will remain together and maybe they will be parted. Perhaps they will be separated and fate will step in to unite them in fifty years, or perhaps they will never see each other again.

Will you see me if I'm green,
Will your love sustain the change?
Smiling here but wondering,
If this dream will do long range.

To the Green we go not knowing,
Where we'll be or how it ends,
If someday we'll meet again,
And pretend that we are friends.

About the artist

Inspired by nature, societal observation, and the world of fantasy, Croatian artist Nikolina Petolas opens the door to secret places where memories, desires, and the subconscious converge, existing somewhere between real life and imagination.

Through allegory as a means of expression, she discovers a parallel world woven into dreams and disrupts our perception of reality. In her symbolic visual stories, Nikolina creates a deep narrative with profound compositions in her unique style by blending contemporary digital techniques with photography or through traditional painting.

Her abundant signature Tale of the Blue Pear series features in the advertising campaign for Ferragamo’s fragrance line, luxury venues such as Seabourn and the Marriott Autograph collection, and has appeared in exhibitions across the globe, earning 23 international awards, and attracting attention from prominent collectors, critics and authors.
