Izvor Pende, praised for his tenacious artistic output of consistent highest quality which is said to rival the best Croatian abstraction masters, stands out with his strong colours and compositions. Already long recognized by the international arts scene, Pende has honed his craft first at the Academy of Fine Arts in Zagreb before moving to Germany to study painting at Kunstakademie Düsseldorf under Professors Karin Rissa and Markus Lupertz. Since 2003, Pende has exhibited individually and collectively at exhibitions all over the world but is based in Dubrovnik where his studio is located. Among Pende's many achievements stands out the “Place of Interrupted Departures” exhibition, put up together with artists Marijana Pende and Slaven Tolj during the 58^th Venice Biennale.
