Dies Sextus (2025) Original Oil Painting by Ivica Petraš

Dies Sextus

Oil on canvas

In this work, Ivica Petraš explores the moment when nature shifts from chaos to harmony, from darkness to light — the sixth day of creation, the day when the world takes shape and comes to life.
Layers of oil are applied richly and impulsively, creating a surface full of energy and movement. Warm tones of ochre, purple, and gold clash with cool bluish shadows, while the viewer’s gaze is drawn toward the luminous center — a symbol of emergence, enlightenment, and hope.

Through a harmonious blend of abstraction and landscape suggestion, the artist opens a space for personal interpretation: is this a dawn, a creation, a memory, or a revelation?
Dies Sextus invites the observer to pause before their own moment of beginning.
