Domagoj Rogina belongs to the younger generation of Croatian painting focused on figuration. In the last few years, he has imposed himself on art critics and the public as one of the leading painters of the younger generation. His exceptional artistic expression is recognizable by expressive compositions, layered smears of paint, expressive handwriting, emphasized brush strokes. The artist focuses on the surface of the painting, on its tactile part, therefore the matter of color that embodies the scene is emphasized, an unavoidable part of his works, which often hide symbolism from everyday life. Through his pictures, he speaks and warns about the endangerment of nature and the bad attitude of man towards it. As the artist himself once said: "I like to paint freely, to explore, therefore I approach painting as discovery, reflection, play, in every new cycle I try to discover something new".
