Nocturne explores the quiet mystery that emerges when daylight fades and reflection begins. Rich layers of violet, deep turquoise, black and shimmering gold create an atmosphere that feels both expansive and intimate, inviting the viewer into a landscape shaped as much by emotion as by memory.
Rather than depicting a specific place, Nocturne evokes the stillness of twilight - a moment when the boundaries between reality and imagination begin to soften. The shifting colours and luminous textures encourage quiet contemplation, revealing new details with every viewing. Inspired by the artistic tradition of the nocturne, the painting celebrates the beauty, depth and serenity that can only be found in moments of calm.

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.
Nocturne 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.
