Nikolaj Omersa, a celebrated Slovenian painter and illustrator, graduated from the Academy of Fine Arts in Zagreb in 1937. He was born on the 3 December 1911 –and died 3 December 1981. He faced internment in various German camps, including Dachau, during World War II. Post-war, he began his career in education, teaching initially at grammar schools in Ljubljana and later at the School of Arts and Crafts. Eventually, he became a professor at the Academy of Fine Arts in Ljubljana. He liked painting landscapes, expressing a special fondness for depicting the picturesque scenes of Ljubljana and Piran… which I highly suggest you visit if you are in Slovenia, it’s a very beautiful.
