Afterglow captures the quiet beauty that lingers after a defining moment has passed. Rich layers of crimson, magenta, gold and soft turquoise evoke the fading warmth of light, where memory, emotion and reflection continue to glow long after the moment itself has disappeared.
Rather than concealing what came before, Afterglow embraces it. Layers from an earlier figurative painting remain embedded beneath the surface, allowing traces of its previous life to shape the final composition. Like the lingering light after sunset, the work reminds us that endings often leave behind something beautiful—a quiet energy that continues to influence what comes next.

Launching at Pittenweem Arts Festival - Scotland, UK.
This artwork will be available to purchase online from Saturday 1 August 2026, the opening day of our exhibition at Pittenweem Arts Festival.
Until then, we invite you to explore the collection and join us in Scotland for Hrvoje Majer's Scottish debut.
Afterglow forms part of Hrvoje's Abstract Collection, a body of work created through transformation rather than beginning as abstraction. Most paintings originate as figurative compositions before being reimagined through expressive layers of colour, texture and movement.
Inspired by the scraping techniques pioneered by Gerhard Richter, Hrvoje balances deliberate decisions with spontaneous mark-making. Hidden beneath each finished surface are earlier paintings whose energy remains embedded within the work, creating abstract pieces that celebrate reinvention, resilience and the unexpected beauty that can emerge from change.
