Dorin Zelenika: Overture to Light

Influencer, entrepreneur and artist Dorin Zelenika unveiled her latest painting cycle “Overture to Light” at the Eichholtz by Mashroom monobrand store in Zagreb, turning the luxury interior into a quiet dialogue between design and abstract art.

Building on her earlier “Golden Overture” series, Zelenika moves from bold tones to subtle textures and muted shades, exploring silence, introspection and personal transformation. Each canvas “breathes in its own rhythm”, inviting viewers to a state of inner calm.

Layered with acrylic and texture paste, her works weave gold, earthy and neutral hues that stand for light, stability and infinity. The painter records emotions from life’s struggles to serene moments, turning the surface into an intimate map of spiritual journey.
